Lemma 5.30.9. The category of topological rings has colimits and colimits commute with the forgetful functor to the category of rings.
Proof. The exact same argument as used in the proof of Lemma 5.30.6 shows existence of colimits. To see the statement on commutation with the forgetful functor to rings we will use Categories, Lemma 4.24.5. Indeed, the forgetful functor has a right adjoint, namely the functor which assigns to a ring the corresponding chaotic (or indiscrete) topological ring. $\square$
