Filtered categories #

A category is filtered if every finite diagram admits a cocone. We give a simple characterisation of this condition as

  1. for every pair of objects there exists another object "to the right",
  2. for every pair of parallel morphisms there exists a morphism to the right so the compositions are equal, and
  3. there exists some object.

Filtered colimits are often better behaved than arbitrary colimits. See category_theory/limits/types for some details.

Filtered categories are nice because colimits indexed by filtered categories tend to be easier to describe than general colimits (and more often preserved by functors).

In this file we show that any functor from a finite category to a filtered category admits a cocone:

Furthermore, we give special support for two diagram categories: The bowtie and the tulip. This is because these shapes show up in the proofs that forgetful functors of algebraic categories (e.g. Mon, CommRing, ...) preserve filtered colimits.

All of the above API, except for the bowtie and the tulip, is also provided for cofiltered categories.

See also #

In category_theory.limits.filtered_colimit_commutes_finite_limit we show that filtered colimits commute with finite limits.
