category_theory.limits.yoneda

Limit properties relating to the (co)yoneda embedding. #

We calculate the colimit of Y ↦ (X ⟶ Y), which is just punit. (This is used in characterising cofinal functors.)

We also show the (co)yoneda embeddings preserve limits and jointly reflect them.

The colimit cocone over coyoneda.obj X, with cocone point punit.
