multi-algebraic

A category is multi-algebraic if it satisfies one of the following equivalent conditions:

  1. It is a multi-cocomplete generalized variety, that is, it has multi-colimits and sifted colimits of all small diagrams, and there is a (small) set GG of strongly finitely presentable objects such that every object is a sifted colimit of objects from GG.
  2. It is equivalent to the category of models of a small (finite product, coproduct)-sketch, shortly small FPC-sketch.
  3. It is equivalent to the category of multi-finite-product-preserving functors to Set\mathbf{Set} from a small category with multi-finite-products (multi-algebraic theory). Here, multi-finite-products means multi-limits of finite discrete diagrams.
  4. It is equivalent to the category of models of a small multi-finite-product sketch.
Multi-algebraic categories are like locally strongly finitely presentable categories but only with multi-colimits. The relation is similar as between locally finitely multi-presentable and locally finitely presentable categories. For equivalence of conditions above, see [AR01a, Lem. 1] and [AR01b, Thm. 4.4]. This notion was originally introduced by Diers.
