Topic: When does a functor preserve finite (co)limits?


Jujian Zhang (Jun 10 2022 at 16:36):

Do we have that if a functor between abelian categories preserves terminal object, binary products, equalizers, then it preserves all finite limits, i.e. 0035 from stack?

Adam Topaz (Jun 10 2022 at 17:06):

we should

We are about to get a much stronger statement: a functor between additive categories that preserves kernels preserves finite limits (note that the functor does not need to be additive). @Jakob von Raumer did this for abelian categories in #14026 and he will be able to generalize it to additive categories once #14452 is merged.
