A duality between infinitary varieties and algebraic theories

Jiří Adámek, Václav Koubek, Jiří Velebil (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A duality between λ -ary varieties and λ -ary algebraic theories is proved as a direct generalization of the finitary case studied by the first author, F.W. Lawvere and J. Rosick’y. We also prove that for every uncountable cardinal λ , whenever λ -small products commute with 𝒟 -colimits in Set , then 𝒟 must be a λ -filtered category. We nevertheless introduce the concept of λ -sifted colimits so that morphisms between λ -ary varieties (defined to be λ -ary, regular right adjoints) are precisely the functors...

Birkhoff's Covariety Theorem without limitations

Jiří Adámek (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

J. Rutten proved, for accessible endofunctors F of Set, the dual Birkhoff’s Variety Theorem: a collection of F -coalgebras is presentable by coequations ( = subobjects of cofree coalgebras) iff it is closed under quotients, subcoalgebras, and coproducts. This result is now proved to hold for all endofunctors F of Set provided that coequations are generalized to mean subchains of the cofree-coalgebra chain. For the concept of coequation introduced by H. Porst and the author, which is a subobject of...
