Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…
For any small quantaloid $\Q$, there is a new quantaloid $\D(\Q)$ of diagonals in $\Q$. If $\Q$ is divisible then so is $\D(\Q)$ (and vice versa), and then it is particularly interesting to compare categories enriched in $\Q$ with…
A number of categories is presented that are algebraically complete and cocomplete, i.e., every endofunctor has an initial algebra and a terminal coalgebra. For all finitary (and, more generally, all precontinuous) set functors the initial…

Distributive laws give a way of combining two algebraic structures expressed as monads; in this paper we propose a theory of distributive laws for combining algebraic structures expressed as Lawvere theories. We propose four approaches,…
Building on the notion of normed category as suggested by Lawvere, we introduce notions of Cauchy convergence and cocompleteness which differ from proposals in previous works. Key to our approach is to treat them consequentially as…
For finitary regular monads T on locally finitely presentable categories we characterize the finitely presentable objects in the category of T-algebras in the style known from general algebra: they are precisely the algebras presentable by…
We extend Lurie's definition of enriched $\infty$-categories to notions of left enriched, right enriched and bienriched $\infty$-categories, which generalize the concepts of closed left tensored, right tensored and bitensored…
It is well known that classical varieties of $\Sigma$-algebras correspond bijectively to finitary monads on $\mathsf{Set}$. We present an analogous result for varieties of ordered $\Sigma$-algebras, i.e., classes presented by inequations…
We develop a theory of weighted colimits in the framework of weakly bienriched $\infty$-categories, an extension of Lurie's notion of enriched $\infty$-categories. We prove an existence result for weighted colimits, study weighted colimits…
The importance of accessible categories has been widely recognized; they can be described as those freely generated in some precise sense by a small set of objects and, because of that, satisfy many good properties. More specifically…
For any site of definition $\mathcal C$ of a Grothendieck topos $\mathcal E$, we define a notion of a $\mathcal C$-ary Lawvere theory $\tau: \mathscr C \to \mathscr T$ whose category of models is a stack over $\mathcal E$. Our definitions…
For every finitary monad $T$ on sets and every endofunctor $F$ on the category of $T$-algebras we introduce the concept of an ffg-Elgot algebra for $F$, that is, an algebra admitting coherent solutions for finite systems of recursive…
Following Lawvere's description of metric spaces using enriched category theory, we introduce a change in the base of enrichment that allows description of some aspects of (relativistic) causal spaces. All such spaces are Cauchy complete,…
We develop universal algebra over an enriched category $\mathcal K$ and relate it to finitary enriched monads over $\mathcal K$. Using it, we deduce recent results about ordered universal algebra where inequations are used instead of…
The starting point of algebraic language theory is that regular languages of finite words are exactly those recognized by finite monoids. This finiteness condition gives rise to a topological space whose points, called profinite words,…
We introduce a framework for universal algebra in categories of relational structures given by finitary relational signatures and finitary or infinitary Horn theories, with the arity $\lambda$ of a Horn theory understood as a strict upper…
As already mentioned by Lawvere in his 1973 paper, the characterisation of Cauchy completeness of metric spaces in terms of representability of adjoint distributors amounts to the idempotent-split property of an ordinary category when the…
We characterize strongly finitary monads on categories $\mathsf{Pos}$, $\mathsf{CPO}$ and $\mathsf{DCPO}$ as precisely those preserving sifted colimits. Or, equivalently, enriched finitary monads preserving reflexive coinserters. We study…
Under a minimum of assumptions, we develop in generality the basic theory of universal algebra in a symmetric monoidal closed category $\mathcal{V}$ with respect to a specified system of arities $j:\mathcal{J} \hookrightarrow \mathcal{V}$.…
