Talk:Beck's monadicity theorem

Untitled

"Passing to a category of coalgebras for a comonad T is a high-flown way of modelling what taking equivalence classes does, in less touchy situations." What? a few more details, or a reference, would be useful.

Compact Hausdorff spaces

I think the claim that that U preserves all colimits is wrong, see this question on mathoverflow.

The monadicity theorem does indeed prove that U is monadic though - but the proof is a little bit more involved and relies on assumption that the coequalizer is U-split. --Mz147 (talk) 18:47, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

I removed the compact Hausdorff space example, because it is definitely false that the forgetful functor preserves all colimits. (For example, let $X_n$ be the quotient of $[0,1]\times\{0,1\}$ in which $(x,0)\sim(x,1)$ for $x\geq 2^{-n}$; then the colimit in compact Hausdorff spaces is just $[0,1]$ but the colimit in spaces has two copies of $0$.) The standard proof of Manes' Theorem does not use Beck's Theorem. If there is an alternate proof using Beck's Theorem then it would be good to include that, but I do not know where to find one.
