proof: The inclusion $\Ab_{\fg} \hookrightarrow \Ab$ is closed under $\aleph_1$-filtered colimits by <a href="https://mathoverflow.net/questions/400763/" target="_blank">MO/400763</a>. In particular, $\Ab_{\fg}$ has $\aleph_1$-filtered colimits. Since $\Ab_{\fg}$ is essentially small, there is a set $G$ such that every f.g. abelian group is isomorphic to one in $G$. So trivially it is also a $\aleph_1$-filtered colimit of such objects (take the constant diagram). Finally, every object is $\Ab_{\fg} = \Ab_{\fp}$ is finitely presentable in $\Ab$ and hence also in $\Ab_{\fg}$, a fortiori $\aleph_1$-presentable.

proof: 'We just need to tweak the proof for <a href="/category/Ring">$\Ring$</a>. Since $R \neq 0$, there is an infinite field $K$ with a homomorphism $R \to K$. Since $K$ is infinite, we may choose some $\lambda \in K \setminus \{0,1\}$. Let $B \coloneqq M_2(K)$ and $A \coloneqq K \times K$. Then $A \to B$, $(x,y) \mapsto \diag(x,y)$ is a regular monomorphism: A direct calculation shows that a matrix is diagonal iff it commutes with $M \coloneqq \bigl(\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda \end{smallmatrix}\bigr)$, so that $A \to B$ is the equalizer of the identity $B \to B$ and the conjugation $B \to B$, $X \mapsto M X M^{-1}$. Consider the homomorphism $A \to K$, $(a,b) \mapsto a$. We claim that $K \to K \sqcup_A B$ is not a monomorphism, because in fact, the pushout $K \sqcup_A B$ is zero: Since $A \to K$ is surjective with kernel $0 \times K$, the pushout is $B/\langle 0 \times K \rangle$, which is $0$ because $B$ is simple (<a href="https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/22629" target="_blank">proof</a>) or via a direct calculation with elementary matrices.'

- property: ℵ₁-cofiltered
proof: In fact, it is $\kappa$-cofiltered for every cardinal $\kappa$. By the dual of Theorem 2.2 at the <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/filtered+category">nLab</a> it suffices to prove any set of objects has a cone (which is trivial in a one-object category) and that any set of parallel morphisms is equalized by some morphism. Here, this means that for every set of ordinals $A$ there is some ordinal $\beta$ such that $\alpha + \beta$ for $\alpha \in A$ does not depend on $\alpha$. Take $\beta$ to be any ordinal larger than $\sup(A)$ of the form $\omega^\gamma$. It is well-known that $\omega^\gamma$ has the property that $\alpha + \omega^\gamma = \omega^\gamma$ for all $\alpha < \omega^\gamma$ (Kunen's <i>Set Theory</i>, Exercise I.9.53), from which the claim follows.

It is constructed as the colimit in the category of vector spaces with the semi-norm $|x| \coloneqq \inf \{|x|_m : n \leq m \}$ for $x \in X_n$. So clearly, the semi-norm is zero. Hence, the colimit in the category of normed vector spaces is $0$. The colimit in the category of Banach spaces is its completion, which is also $0$.

proof: 'The strategy is similar to the one for <a href="/category/CRing">$\CRing$</a>: Assume that $P \to R$ is a regular quotient object classifier. If $J$ denotes the kernel of $P \to R$, every ideal $I \subseteq A$ of any commutative $R$-algebra has the form $I = \langle \varphi(J) \rangle$ for a unique homomorphism $\varphi : P \to A$. If $\sigma : A \to A$ is an automorphism with $\sigma(I)=I$, then uniqueness gives us $\sigma \circ \varphi = \varphi$, which means that $\varphi(J)$ lies in $A^{\sigma}$, the fixed algebra of $\sigma$. But then $I$ is generated by elements in $A^{\sigma} \cap I$. If $K$ is a residue field of $R$, this fails for $A = K[X,Y]$, $I = \langle X,Y \rangle$, $\sigma(X)=Y$, $\sigma(Y)=X$. The fixed algebra is the subalgebra of symmetric polynomials, which is $K[X+Y,XY]$. So $\langle X,Y \rangle$ is generated by symmetric polynomials without constant term, which implies $\langle X,Y \rangle \subseteq \langle X+Y,XY \rangle$ in $K[X,Y]$.
