Limit-creating functor by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
A functor creates categorical limits of a specified shape when every given limiting categorical cone over an image diagram uniquely lifts to a categorical cone over the original diagram, and the lift is limiting. This is stronger than just being a limit-reflecting functor. Forgetting arrows from a functor category creates its pointwise limits in a functor category.
