Intersection of subobjects (${\bigcap }_i{M}_i$)

In a complete category, the intersection of a set-indexed family of subobjects of $C$ is their wide pullback in a category over $C$. The resulting morphism into $C$ is a monomorphism, and it factors through every member. In a well-powered category, even the intersection of all subobjects satisfying a specified property is small.

For a limit-preserving functor $U$ and an arrow $d:D\to UC$, a supported subobject is $m:M\hookrightarrow C$ through which $d$ factors after applying $U$. In a complete well-powered domain, their intersection remains supported. At the resulting pair $(C_0,d_0)$, every supported subobject of $C_0$ is invertible. This minimality makes $q\mapsto U(q)d_0$ injective on morphisms to each cogenerator.
