Mathlib.Algebra.Category.Ring.Limits

The category of (commutative) rings has all limits #

Further, these limits are preserved by the forgetful functor --- that is, the underlying types are just the limits in the category of types.

The flat sections of a functor into SemiRingCat form a subsemiring of all sections.

      Construction of a limit cone in SemiRingCat. (Internal use only; use the limits API.)

      Equations
        Instances For

          Witness that the limit cone in SemiRingCat is a limit cone. (Internal use only; use the limits API.)

          Equations
            Instances For

              If J is u-small, SemiRingCat.{u} has limits of shape J.

              We show that the forgetful functor CommSemiRingCatSemiRingCat creates limits.

              All we need to do is notice that the limit point has a CommSemiring instance available, and then reuse the existing limit.

              Equations

                A choice of limit cone for a functor into CommSemiRingCat. (Generally, you'll just want to use limit F.)

                Equations
                  Instances For

                    The chosen cone is a limit cone. (Generally, you'll just want to use limit.cone F.)

                        If J is u-small, CommSemiRingCat.{u} has limits of shape J.

                        The forgetful functor from rings to types preserves all limits. (That is, the underlying types could have been computed instead as limits in the category of types.)

                        The flat sections of a functor into RingCat form a subring of all sections.
