Category of coalgebras for a comonad

ID: category-of-coalgebras-for-a-comonad

The category consists of coalgebras for a comonad and their structure-preserving morphisms. Its forgetful functor has the cofree coalgebra as right adjoint. If is a topos and preserves finite limits, those limits are created by the forgetful functor, while exponentials in a coalgebra topos and the subobject classifier of a coalgebra topos can be constructed as equalizers inside cofree objects.
