Subject: Re: no fundamental theorems please
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:27:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1MJ5Px-0005jQ-H3@mailserv.mta.ca> (raw)
I expected my term to be slightly controversial, but didn't realise what
depth of feeling existed on the subject!
So, while I thank everyone for the very enlightening discussion of
Yoneda's Lemma, and Paul for his thoughts on Fundamental Theorems, I'd
like to ask: is there another name I can use for the theorem that right
adjoints preserve limits and left adjoints preserve colimits that's (a)
a bit less of a mouthful than that and (b) emphasises the result's
importance and applicability?
