Mathlib.Algebra.Category.Grp.LargeColimits

Existence of "big" colimits in the category of additive commutative groups #

If F : J ⥤ AddCommGrp.{w} is a functor, we show that F admits a colimit if and only if Colimits.Quot F (the quotient of the direct sum of the commutative groups F.obj j by the relations given by the morphisms in the diagram) is w-small.

If c is a cocone of F such that Quot.desc F c is bijective, then c is a colimit cocone of F.

A functor F : J ⥤ AddCommGrp.{w} has a colimit if and only if Colimits.Quot F is w-small.
