If a category has all products, and all equalizers, then it has all limits. Similarly, if it has all finite products, and all equalizers, then it has all finite limits.
TODO: provide the dual result.
Corresponding to any functor F : J ⥤ C, we construct a new functor from the walking parallel pair of morphisms to C, given by the diagram
s
∏_j F j ===> Π_{f : j ⟶ j'} F j'
t
where the two morphisms s and t are defined componentwise:
In a moment we prove that cones over F are isomorphic to cones over this new diagram.
The morphism from cones over the walking pair diagram diagram F to cones over the original diagram F.
The morphism from cones over the original diagram F to cones over the walking pair diagram diagram F.
The natural isomorphism between cones over the walking pair diagram diagram F and cones over the original diagram F.
Any category with products and equalizers has all limits.
Any category with finite products and equalizers has all finite limits.
