Subject: reflexive coequalizers
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2006 14:39:47 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1GhFyq-0000A7-78@mailserv.mta.ca> (raw)

The indiscrete-category functor I: Set -> Cat is not algebraically
exact as I claimed in my posting of October 9. But I is
a full codomain restriction of one: as in that posting, let F
be the forgetful functor the Gabriel-Ulmer theory T
of categories to the theory of sets. Then Alg F is an algebraically
exact functor from Set to Alg T, and the Yoneda embedding
Y: Cat -> Alg T is fully faithful (since the dual of T is dense in Cat).
It is easy to see that Alg F is naturally isomorphic to Y.I , thus,
I preserves sifted colimits.
