Completeness respects equivalences🔗

Let be a category admitting limits for diagrams, and an equivalence. Then also admits limits for diagrams; In particular, if is complete, then so is

module
  _ {o  o' ℓ'} {C : Precategory o } {D : Precategory o' ℓ'}
    {F : Functor C D} (eqv : is-equivalence F)
  where

  open is-equivalence eqv

This is a very short theorem: If admits limits, then for any diagram the composite has a limit. But since equivalences are right adjoints, preserves this limit, so has a limit in But that composite is naturally isomorphic to so also has a limit.
