TauCeti.Topology.Category.TopCommRingCat.CompleteSeparated.Limits

Limits of complete separated topological rings #

The full subcategory TauCeti.CompleteSeparatedTopCommRingCat has products and equalizers, and the inclusion into TopCommRingCat creates them. Both come from the closure instances proved here: CategoryTheory.Limits.hasLimitsOfShape_of_closedUnderLimits supplies the limits, and CategoryTheory.Limits.createsLimitsOfShapeFullSubcategoryInclusion their creation by the inclusion. The equalizer closure is where separatedness of the codomain is used: the equalizing locus is closed in a Hausdorff codomain, and a closed subring of a complete separated ring is complete separated (IsCompleteSeparated.of_isClosedEmbedding, in CompleteSeparated/Basic.lean).

Complete separated objects are closed under equalizers: the equalizing locus of two morphisms into a Hausdorff codomain is a closed subring.

All small limits, from the products and equalizers above. This is what lets a limit be formed over a general shape rather than only over discrete shapes and parallel pairs; the structure presheaf of an adic space is a limit over a category of rational presentations, which is neither.
