I could swear I remember a result of the following form:



Suppose we have a pair of functors $$CxrightarrowFDxrightarrowG X,$$ with $X$ cocomplete.



then we obtain a functor $$Dto X$$ sending $$dmapsto operatornamecolim_(Fdownarrow d)(Gcirc pi_d)$$ where $pi_d:(Fdownarrow d)to D$ is the projection functor sending $(F(c)to d) mapsto F(c)$.



Then there is a canonical isomorphism $$operatornamecolim_Dleft (operatornamecolim_(Fdownarrow d)(Gcirc pi_d)right) cong operatornamecolim_C (Gcirc F).$$



Is this true? Do you know of a source? Is there a name for this kind of result?

    Probably it should be noted, that $textcolim_(Fdownarrow d)(Gcircpi_d)$ is a pointwise left Kan extension of $Gcirc F$ along $F$.

  • @Oskar Doesn't that prove the statement then, since $operatornamecolim(operatornameLan_F Gcirc F)=operatornameLan_t_Dleft(operatornameLan_F Gcirc F right)=operatornameLan_t_D circ F Gcirc F =operatornameLan_t_CGcirc F=operatornamecolim Gcirc F$ since the terminal functor $t_C=t_Dcirc F$?

The functor $textcolim_(Fdownarrow -)(Gcircpi_-)colon Dto X$ is a left Kan extension of $Gcirc F$ along $F$. The corresponding natural transformation $ell_F^Gcirc Fcolon Gcirc Fto textcolim_(Fdownarrow -)(Gcircpi_-)circ F$ is defined by
$$
ell_F^Gcirc F(c)=varphi^F(c)(id_F(c)),
$$
where $varphi^F(c)$ is a colimiting cocone of $Gcircpi_F(c)$. Verification of the universality is long but straightforward.



Then it remains to note that for any functors $T$ and $S$ there exists an isomorphism
$$
varinjlimtextLan_TScongvarinjlim S.
$$



Seems that your statement is just one of the great amount of interesting properties of Kan extensions, so I doubt that it has a name. Some basic properties of pointwise Kan extensions are described in the first volume of Borceux's handbook.
