Example types with colimits
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
One can make analogous definitions for colimits. (7 words)
The dual statements for colimits are equally valid. (8 words)
There are dual definitions for the lifting of colimits. (9 words)
Any colimit functor is left adjoint to a corresponding diagonal functor (provided the category has the type of colimits in question), and the unit of the adjunction provides the defining maps into the colimit object. (35 words)
This follows, in part, from the fact the covariant Hom functor Hom(N, ) : C → Set preserves all limits in C. By duality, the contravariant Hom functor must take colimits to limits. (31 words)
A category has colimits of type J if every diagram of type J has a colimit in C. A cocomplete category is one that has all small colimits. (28 words)
Example sentences (17)
A category has colimits of type J if every diagram of type J has a colimit in C. A cocomplete category is one that has all small colimits.
For contravariant functors the corresponding notions would be a functor that takes colimits to limits, or one that takes limits to colimits.
For this reason one often speaks of the limit of F. Colimits seeAlso The dual notions of limits and cones are colimits and co-cones.
Weak limit and weak colimits are defined like limits and colimits, except that the uniqueness property of the mediating morphism is dropped.
Any colimit functor is left adjoint to a corresponding diagonal functor (provided the category has the type of colimits in question), and the unit of the adjunction provides the defining maps into the colimit object.
Examples * Every representable functor C → Set preserves limits (but not necessarily colimits).
It follows that any functor which preserves limits will take terminal objects to terminal objects, and any functor which preserves colimits will take initial objects to initial objects.
Limits and colimits Categorical products are a particular kind of limit in category theory.
More general concepts are the limits and colimits of category theory.
One can generalize the above example to arbitrary limits and colimits.
One can make analogous definitions for colimits.
Since many common constructions in mathematics are limits or colimits, this provides a wealth of information.
The dual statements for colimits are equally valid.
There are dual definitions for the lifting of colimits.
The terminology is somewhat confusing: inverse limits are limits, while direct limits are colimits.
This follows, in part, from the fact the covariant Hom functor Hom(N, ) : C → Set preserves all limits in C. By duality, the contravariant Hom functor must take colimits to limits.
Variations Limits and colimits can also be defined for collections of objects and morphisms without the use of diagrams.
