Gabriel-Ulmer duality and Lawvere theories enriched over a general base
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by the search for a body of mathematical theory to support the semantics of computational effects, we first recall the relationship between Lawvere theories and monads on Set. We generalise that relationship from Set to an arbitrary locally presentable category such as Poset, ωCpo, or functor categories such as [Inj, Set] or [Inj, ωCpo]. That involves allowing the arities of Lawvere theories to be extended to being size-restricted objects of the locally presentable category. We develop a body of theory at this level of generality, in particular explaining how the relationship between generalised Lawvere theories and monads extends Gabriel-Ulmer duality.

Segal Condition Meets Computational Effects
Every finitary monad T on the category of sets is described by an algebraic theory whose n-ary operations are the elements of the free algebra Tn generated by n letters. This canonical presentation of the monad (called its Lawvere theory) offers a precious guideline in the search for an intuitive presentation of the monad by generators and relations. Hence, much work has been devoted to extend ...
متن کاملDiscrete Lawvere theories and computational effects
Countable Lawvere theories model computational effects such as exceptions, side-effects, interactive input/output, nondeterminism and probabilistic nondeterminism. The category of countable Lawvere theories has sums, tensors, and distributive tensors, modelling natural combinations of such effects. It is also closed under taking images. Enrichment in a category such as Cpo allows one to extend ...
متن کاملFreyd categories are Enriched Lawvere Theories
Lawvere theories provide a categorical formulation of the algebraic theories from universal algebra. Freyd categories are categorical models of first-order effectful programming languages. The notion of sound limit doctrine has been used to classify accessible categories. We provide a definition of Lawvere theory that is enriched in a closed category that is locally presentable with respect to ...
متن کاملA Syntactic Approach to Modularity in Denotational Semantics
This paper proposes a syntactic reformulation of the modular approach to Denotational Semantics in [Mog89a, Mog91a]. This reformulation is based on a duality between model constructions and translations of theories (often called relative interpretations), analogous to Gabriel-Ulmer duality. To demonstrate the simplicity and usability of the syntactic reformulation, we give a sample of theories ...
متن کاملEnriched algebraic theories and monads for a system of arities
Under a minimum of assumptions, we develop in generality the basic theory of universal algebra in a symmetric monoidal closed category V with respect to a specified system of arities j : J ↪→ V . Lawvere’s notion of algebraic theory generalizes to this context, resulting in the notion of single-sorted V -enriched J -cotensor theory, or J -theory for short. For suitable choices of V and J , such...
