The forgetful functor from (commutative) (semi-) rings preserves filtered colimits. #

Forgetful functors from algebraic categories usually don't preserve colimits. However, they tend to preserve filtered colimits.

In this file, we start with a small filtered category J and a functor F : J ⥤ SemiRing. We show that the colimit of F ⋙ forget₂ SemiRing Mon (in Mon) carries the structure of a semiring, thereby showing that the forgetful functor forget₂ SemiRing Mon preserves filtered colimits. In particular, this implies that forget SemiRing preserves filtered colimits. Similarly for CommSemiRing, Ring and CommRing.
