Abstract
A variety is a category of ordered (finitary) algebras presented by inequations between terms. We characterize categories enriched over the category of posets which are equivalent to a variety. This is quite analogous to Lawvere’s classical characterization of varieties of ordinary algebras. We also study the relationship of varieties to discrete Lawvere theories, and varieties as concrete categories over \(\mathbf{ Pos }\).
期刊介绍:
Algebra Universalis publishes papers in universal algebra, lattice theory, and related fields. In a pragmatic way, one could define the areas of interest of the journal as the union of the areas of interest of the members of the Editorial Board. In addition to research papers, we are also interested in publishing high quality survey articles.
