We consider the equivalence of Lawvere theories and finitary monads on Set from the perspective of Endf(Set)-enriched category theory, where Endf(Set) is the category of finitary endofunctors of Set. We identify finitary monads with…

Categorical universal algebra can be developed either using Lawvere theories (single-sorted finite product theories) or using monads, and the category of Lawvere theories is equivalent to the category of finitary monads on Set. We show how…

Let $F$ be the category with the set of objects $\bf N$ and morphisms being the functions between the standard finite sets of the corresponding cardinalities. Let $Jf:F\rightarrow Sets$ be the obvious functor from this category to the…

We characterize the equational theories and Lawvere theories that correspond to the categories of analytic and polynomial monads on Set, and hence also the categories of the symmetric and rigid operads in Set. We show that the category of…

We characterize the category of monads on $Set$ and the category of Lawvere theories that are equivalent to the category of regular equational theories.

We show that the construction due to Leinster and Weber of a generalized Lawvere theory for a familially representable monad on a (co)presheaf category, and the associated ``nerve'' functor from monad algebras to (co)presheaves, have an…

We introduce a generalization of monads, called relative monads, allowing for underlying functors between different categories. Examples include finite-dimensional vector spaces, untyped and typed lambda-calculus syntax and indexed…

We survey Lawvere theories at the level of infinity categories, as an alternative framework for higher algebra (rather than infinity operads). From a pedagogical perspective, they make many key definitions and constructions less technical.…

In this paper we generalise the notion of linearity (in the sense of Lawvere) to a category C equipped with a compatible sum structure and product structure. In this context, any morphism f from an n-fold sum to an n-fold product has a…

It is well known that the opposite F^{op} of the category F of finitely generated free groups is a Lawvere theory for groups, and also that F is a free symmetric monoidal category on a commutative Hopf monoid, or, in other words, a PROP for…

We provide graded extensions of algebraic theories and Lawvere theories that correspond to graded monads. We prove that graded algebraic theories, graded Lawvere theories, and finitary graded monads are equivalent via equivalence of…

We study the structure of the category of representations of $\mathbf{FA}$, the category of finite sets and all maps, mostly working over a field of characteristic zero. This category is not semi-simple and exhibits interesting features. We…

A fundamental result in the theory of monads is the characterisation of the category of algebras for a monad in terms of a pullback of the category of presheaves on the category of free algebras: intuitively, this expresses that every…

We establish a relative monadicity theorem for relative monads with dense roots in a virtual equipment, specialising to a relative monadicity theorem for enriched relative monads. In particular, for a dense $\mathbb V$-functor $j \colon A…

We introduce the concept of Frobenius theory as a generalisation of Lawvere's functorial semantics approach to categorical universal algebra. Whereas the universe for models of Lawvere theories is the category of sets and functions, or more…

We develop the theory of relative monads and relative adjunctions in a virtual equipment, extending the theory of monads and adjunctions in a 2-category. The theory of relative comonads and relative coadjunctions follows by duality. While…

Lawvere's algebraic theories, or Lawvere theories, underpin a categorical approach to general algebra, and Lawvere's adjunction between semantics and algebraic structure leads to an equivalence between Lawvere theories and finitary monads…

Several adjunctions between functor categories have been studied and applied previously. These include Powell's adjunction between functor categories on free groups and on the linear PROP associated with the Lie operad, as well as those…

For a quantale $\V$, first a closure-theoretic approach to completeness and separation in $\V$-categories is presented. This approach is then generalized to $\Tth$-categories, where $\Tth$ is a topological theory that entails a set monad…
