Lemma 7.14.4. Let \mathcal{C}_ i, i = 1, 2, 3 be sites. Let u : \mathcal{C}_2 \to \mathcal{C}_1 and v : \mathcal{C}_3 \to \mathcal{C}_2 be continuous functors which induce morphisms of sites. Then the functor u \circ v : \mathcal{C}_3 \to \mathcal{C}_1 is continuous and defines a morphism of sites \mathcal{C}_1 \to \mathcal{C}_3.
Composition of site functors respects continuity of site functors.
Proof. It is immediate from the definitions that u \circ v is a continuous functor. In addition, we clearly have (u \circ v)^ p = v^ p \circ u^ p, and hence (u \circ v)^ s = v^ s \circ u^ s. Hence functors (u \circ v)_ s and u_ s \circ v_ s are both left adjoints of (u \circ v)^ s. Therefore (u \circ v)_ s \cong u_ s \circ v_ s and we conclude that (u \circ v)_ s is exact as a composition of exact functors. \square
