Completeness respects equivalences🔗

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a category admitting limits for $\mathcal{J}$-shaped diagrams, and $F : \mathcal{C} \cong \mathcal{D}$ an equivalence. Then $\mathcal{D}$ also admits limits for $\mathcal{J}$-shaped diagrams; In particular, if $\mathcal{C}$ is complete, then so is $\mathcal{D}$.

  open is-equivalence eqv

This is a very short theorem: If $\mathcal{C}$ admits $\mathcal{J}$-shaped limits, then for any diagram $K : \mathcal{J} \to \mathcal{D}$, the composite $F^{-1}K$ has a limit. But since equivalences are right adjoints, $F$ preserves this limit, so $FF^{-1}K$ has a limit in $\mathcal{D}$; But that composite is naturally isomorphic to $K$, so $K$ also has a limit.
