Countable limits and colimits

A typeclass for categories with all countable (co)limits.

We also prove that all cofiltered limits over countable preorders are isomorphic to sequential limits, see sequentialFunctor_initial.

Projects

• There is a series of proof_wanted at the bottom of this file, implying that all cofiltered limits over countable categories are isomorphic to sequential limits.

• Prove the dual result for filtered colimits.

class CategoryTheory.Limits.HasCountableLimits (C : Type u_1) [CategoryTheory.Category.{u_3, u_1} C] : Prop

A category has all countable limits if every functor J ⥤ C with a CountableCategory J instance and J : Type has a limit.

• out : ∀ (J : Type) [inst : CategoryTheory.SmallCategory J] [inst_1 : CategoryTheory.CountableCategory J], CategoryTheory.Limits.HasLimitsOfShape J C

  C has all limits over any type J whose objects and morphisms lie in the same universe and which has countably many objects and morphisms
