Finality of Projections in Comma Categories #
We show that fst L R
is final if R
is and that snd L R
is initial if L
is.
As a corollary, we show that Comma L R
with L : A ⥤ T
and R : B ⥤ T
is connected if R
is
final and A
is connected.
We then use this in a proof that derives finality of map
between two comma categories
on a quasi-commutative diagram of functors, some of which need to be final.
Finally we prove filteredness of a Comma L R
and finality of snd L R
, given that R
is final
and A
and B
are filtered.

Let the following diagram commute up to isomorphism:
L R
A ---→ T ←--- B
| | |
| F | H | G
↓ ↓ ↓
A' ---→ T' ←--- B'
L' R'
Let F
, G
, R
and R'
be final and B
be filtered. Then, the induced functor between the comma
categories of the first and second row of the diagram is final.
Let A
and B
be filtered categories, R : B ⥤ T
be final and L : A ⥤ T
. Then, the
comma category Comma L R
is filtered.
Let A
and B
be cofiltered categories, L : A ⥤ T
be initial and R : B ⥤ T
. Then, the
comma category Comma L R
is cofiltered.
Let A
and B
be filtered categories, R : B ⥤ T
be final and R : A ⥤ T
. Then, the
projection snd L R : Comma L R ⥤ B
is final.
Let A
and B
be cofiltered categories, L : A ⥤ T
be initial and R : B ⥤ T
. Then, the
projection fst L R : Comma L R ⥤ A
is initial.
