The category of (commutative) rings has all limits #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

Further, these limits are preserved by the forgetful functor --- that is, the underlying types are just the limits in the category of types.

Some definitions may be extremely slow to elaborate, when the target type to be constructed is complicated and when the type of the term given in the definition is also complicated and does not obviously match the target type. In this case, instead of just giving the term, prefixing it with by apply may speed up things considerably as the types are not elaborated in the same order.

Equations

The flat sections of a functor into SemiRing form a subsemiring of all sections.

We show that the forgetful functor CommSemiRingSemiRing creates limits.

All we need to do is notice that the limit point has a comm_semiring instance available, and then reuse the existing limit.

The forgetful functor from rings to types preserves all limits. (That is, the underlying types could have been computed instead as limits in the category of types.)
