Freyd's Adjoint Functor Theorem is a foundational result in category theory that provides a characterization of when a functor has a left adjoint. It highlights the conditions under which certain types of limits, specifically colimits and certain completeness conditions, are preserved by functors. This theorem is essential for understanding how adjunctions interact with structures like limits, colimits, and initial and terminal objects in categories.
