only first steps to fix definitions and to detect shortcomings of the UniMath library


Context {C D : precategory} (F : functor C D).

This definition does not align with the one given in terms of displayed categories here:
https://github.com/UniMath/UniMath/blob/master/UniMath/CategoryTheory/DisplayedCats/Limits.v#L38

In short, the definition there says that a displayed category creates limits if

  1. "above" every limiting cone there is exactly one cone, and
  2. that cone is limiting.
    "Above" is conveniently expressed in terms of displayed categories, and would need an equality (or an isomorphism) on objects if expressed in terms of functors.

Addendum: the definition of creation of limits does not immediately say that limits are preserved (whereas reflection of limits is more immediate). Indeed, preservation of limits requires a small argument, given at https://github.com/UniMath/UniMath/blob/master/UniMath/CategoryTheory/DisplayedCats/Limits.v#L60.

I have the bad feeling that in our situation, colimits are not preserved, and so, we should not go for creation of colimits in the sense of displayed categories (that generalizes the situation of full subcategories).

colimits.v: forms_cocone, is_cocone_mor defined and used where possible
propagation everywhere, with substantial effort in Lists.v

Commit 7fe3c26d5 is separated out into a new PR #1387 and the present PR will be paused for further insights from category theory.
