Implication details

Claim: If a category has cofiltered limits and is extensive and has a terminal object, then it has cocartesian cofiltered limits.

Proof: Let C\C be an extensive category with cofiltered limits and a terminal object. Then the coproduct functor C×C≅C/1×C/1→C/(1+1)\C \times \C \cong \C/1 \times \C/1 \to \C/(1+1) is an equivalence. The forgetful functor C/A→C\C/A \to \C creates connected limits, and hence preserves cofiltered limits. For every X∈CX \in \C the functor (X,−):C→C×C(X,-) : \C \to \C \times \C also preserves cofiltered limits. The composition of these functors is X⊔−:C→CX \sqcup - : \C \to \C and therefore also preserves cofiltered limits.

This implication has a dual.
