Limits Colimits

When to Use

Use this skill when working on limits-colimits problems in category theory.

Decision Tree

  1. Identify Limit Type
  • Product: limit of discrete diagram
  • Equalizer: limit of parallel pair f, g: A -> B
  • Pullback: limit of A -> C <- B
  • Terminal object: limit of empty diagram
  • Lean 4: CategoryTheory.Limits namespace
  1. Verify Universal Property
  • Cone from L with projections pii: L -> Di
  • For any cone from X, unique morphism u: X -> L
  • Triangles commute: pii . u = conei
  • Lean 4: IsLimit.lift gives the unique morphism
  1. Colimit (Dual)
  • Coproduct: colimit of discrete diagram
  • Coequalizer: colimit of parallel pair
  • Pushout: colimit of A <- C -> B
  • Initial object: colimit of empty diagram
  1. Compute Limits Concretely
  • In Set: product = Cartesian product
  • Equalizer = {x | f(x) = g(x)}
  • Pullback = {(a,b) | f(a) = g(b)}
  • sympy_compute.py solve "f(a) == g(b)"
  1. Preservation
  • Right adjoint preserves limits
  • Left adjoint preserves colimits
  • Representable functors preserve limits
  • Lean 4: Adjunction.rightAdjointPreservesLimits
  • See: .claude/skills/lean4-limits/SKILL.md for exact syntax
