Implication details

Claim: If a category has countable copowers and has ℵ₁-filtered colimits, then it has copowers.

Proof: Let C\C be a category with ℵ1\aleph_1-filtered colimits and countable copowers. Let X∈CX \in \C be an object and II be a set. The poset P<ℵ1(I)P_{<\aleph_1}(I) of countable subsets of II is ℵ1\aleph_1-filtered, and we have a diagram P<ℵ1(I)→CP_{<\aleph_1}(I) \to \C, A↦A⊗XA \mapsto A \otimes X. Its colimit is the copower I⊗XI \otimes X.
