Creating (co)limits #

We say that F creates limits of K if, given any limit cone c for K ⋙ F (i.e. below) we can lift it to a cone "above", and further that F reflects limits for K.

structure CategoryTheory.LiftableCone {C : Type u₁} [Category.{v₁, u₁} C] {D : Type u₂} [Category.{v₂, u₂} D] {J : Type w} [Category.{w', w} J] (K : Functor J C) (F : Functor C D) (c : Limits.Cone (K.comp F)) :
Type (max (max (max u₁ v₁) v₂) w)

Define the lift of a cone: For a cone c for K ⋙ F, give a cone for K which is a lift of c, i.e. the image of it under F is (iso) to c.

We will then use this as part of the definition of creation of limits: every limit cone has a lift.

Note this definition is really only useful when c is a limit already.

Define the lift of a cocone: For a cocone c for K ⋙ F, give a cocone for K which is a lift of c, i.e. the image of it under F is (iso) to c.

We will then use this as part of the definition of creation of colimits: every limit cocone has a lift.

Definition 3.3.1 of [Riehl]. We say that F creates limits of K if, given any limit cone c for K ⋙ F (i.e. below) we can lift it to a cone "above", and further that F reflects limits for K.

If F reflects isomorphisms, it suffices to show only that the lifted cone is a limit - see createsLimitOfReflectsIso.

In particular, if we can show that for any limit cone c for K ⋙ F, there is a lift of it which is a limit and F reflects isomorphisms, then F creates limits.
