Filtered categories and limits

In this file , we show that C is filtered if and only if for every functor F : J ⥤ C from a finite category there is some X : C such that lim Hom(F·, X) is nonempty.

Furthermore, we define the type classes HasCofilteredLimitsOfSize and HasFilteredColimitsOfSize.

theorem CategoryTheory.IsFiltered.iff_nonempty_limit {C : Type u} [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] : CategoryTheory.IsFiltered C ↔ ∀ {J : Type v} [inst : CategoryTheory.SmallCategory J] [inst_1 : CategoryTheory.FinCategory J] (F : CategoryTheory.Functor J C), ∃ (X : C), Nonempty (CategoryTheory.Limits.limit (CategoryTheory.Functor.comp F.op (CategoryTheory.yoneda.obj X)))

C is filtered if and only if for every functor F : J ⥤ C from a finite category there is some X : C such that lim Hom(F·, X) is nonempty.

Lemma 3.1.2 of [Kashiwara2006]

theorem CategoryTheory.IsCofiltered.iff_nonempty_limit {C : Type u} [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] : CategoryTheory.IsCofiltered C ↔ ∀ {J : Type v} [inst : CategoryTheory.SmallCategory J] [inst_1 : CategoryTheory.FinCategory J] (F : CategoryTheory.Functor J C), ∃ (X : C), Nonempty (CategoryTheory.Limits.limit (CategoryTheory.Functor.comp F (CategoryTheory.coyoneda.obj (Opposite.op X))))

C is cofiltered if and only if for every functor F : J ⥤ C from a finite category there is some X : C such that lim Hom(X, F·) is nonempty.

class CategoryTheory.Limits.HasCofilteredLimitsOfSize (C : Type u) [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] : Prop

Class for having all cofiltered limits of a given size.

• HasLimitsOfShape : ∀ (I : Type w) [inst : CategoryTheory.Category.{w', w} I] [inst_1 : CategoryTheory.IsCofiltered I], CategoryTheory.Limits.HasLimitsOfShape I C

  For all filtered types of size w, we have limits

class CategoryTheory.Limits.HasFilteredColimitsOfSize (C : Type u) [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] : Prop

Class for having all filtered colimits of a given size.

• HasColimitsOfShape : ∀ (I : Type w) [inst : CategoryTheory.Category.{w', w} I] [inst_1 : CategoryTheory.IsFiltered I], CategoryTheory.Limits.HasColimitsOfShape I C

  For all filtered types of a size w, we have colimits
