Special equalizers associated to a comonad #
Associated to a comonad T : C ⥤ C
we have important equalizer constructions:
Any coalgebra is an equalizer (in the category of coalgebras) of cofree coalgebras. Furthermore,
this equalizer is coreflexive.
In C
, this fork diagram is a split equalizer (in particular, it is still an equalizer).
This split equalizer is known as the Beck equalizer (as it features heavily in Beck's
comonadicity theorem).
