Preservation of colimits and reflective adjunctions #

Let adj : F ⊣ G be an adjunction with G : D ⥤ C full and faithful. We show that if colimits of shape J exist in C, then a functor H : D ⥤ E preserves colimits of shape J iff F ⋙ H does.

In particular, a functor from a category of sheaves preserves colimits iff it does so after precomposition with the sheafification functor.
