Left exactness of functors between preadditive categories #
We show that a functor is left exact in the sense that it preserves finite limits, if it preserves kernels. The dual result holds for right exact functors and cokernels.
Main results #
- We first derive preservation of binary product in the lemma
preservesBinaryProductsOfPreservesKernels
, - then show the preservation of equalizers in
preservesEqualizerOfPreservesKernels
, - and then derive the preservation of all finite limits with the usual construction.
A functor between preadditive categories which preserves kernels preserves that an arbitrary binary fan is a limit.
