| Description | Sifted colimits are ``almost'' just the combination of filtered colimits and reflexive coequalizers. For example, a functor with a finitely cocomplete domain preserves sifted colimits iff it preserves filtered colimits and reflexive coequalizers. But for general domains that statement is not true. |
