Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Filtered.Flat

Pulling back filteredness along representably flat functors #

We show that if F : C ⥤ D is a representably coflat functor between two categories, filteredness of D implies filteredness of C. Dually, if F is representably flat, cofilteredness of D implies cofilteredness of C.

Transferring (co)filteredness along representably (co)flat functors is given by IsFiltered.of_final and its dual, since every representably flat functor is final and every representably coflat functor is initial.
