Limits and colimits in the category of (co)algebras #

This file shows that the forgetful functor forget T : Algebra T ⥤ C for a monad T : C ⥤ C creates limits and creates any colimits which T preserves. This is used to show that Algebra T has any limits which C has, and any colimits which C has and T preserves. This is generalised to the case of a monadic functor D ⥤ C.

Dually, this file shows that the forgetful functor forget T : Coalgebra T ⥤ C for a comonad T : C ⥤ C creates colimits and creates any limits which T preserves. This is used to show that Coalgebra T has any colimits which C has, and any limits which C has and T preserves. This is generalised to the case of a comonadic functor D ⥤ C.
