Subject: Finitely presentable presheaves
Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 16:55:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v02140b02b5471e6c6cd0@[130.251.167.61]> (raw)

Consider the category of presheaves  C^  on a small category,  C.

Plainly, a finite colimit  F  of representables presheaves is finitely
presentable, in the usual sense:  C^(F, -)  preserves filtered colimits.
But the converse is also true and seemingly well known: every finitely
presentable presheaf is a finite colimit of representables.

Is this proved somewhere?
