Michel Thiébaud's thesis (“Self-Dual Structure-Semantics and Algebraic Categories”)
I am looking for a copy of Michel Thiébaud's 1971 thesis Self-Dual Structure-Semantics and Algebraic Categories, which appears to be an early reference for the relationship between the Kleisli ...

Internal logic of locally strongly finitely presentable categories
There is a duality between locally strongly finitely presentable categories and (Cauchy complete) cartesian categories, i.e. multisorted algebraic theories. The internal logic of cartesian categories ...

Characterisation of essentially algebraic theories with a fixed set of sorts
It is well known (e.g. Palmgren–Vickers's Partial Horn logic and cartesian categories) that many-sorted essentially algebraic theories (equivalently partial Horn theories / quasi-equational theories / ...

Characterisation of presentations for varietal large equational theories
Let $T : \mathbf{Set}^\mathrm{op} \to \mathscr T$ be a large equational theory (i.e. a bijective-on-objects product-preserving functor). Following Linton in Some Aspects of Equational Categories, we ...

Characterisation of essentially algebraic theories as monads
The following correspondence between algebraic theories and monads on $\mathbf{Set}$ is well-known (see, for example, Algebraic Theories: A Categorical Introduction to General Algebra).
The ...

IBN for algebraic theories
Let us say that a finitary algebraic theory $\tau$ has IBN (invariant basis number) if the free functor $F : \mathsf{Set} \to \mathsf{Mod}(\tau)$ reflects the isomorphism relation: If $S,T$ are sets ...

The graph of algebraic theories
Fix a logic $L$ and consider the category $\mathbf{AlgTh}_L$ with theories of $L$ as objects and theory interpretations as morphisms. For nice enough logics, this category has pushouts (which we will ...

Request for reference: Banach-type spaces as algebraic theories.
Sparked by Yemon Choi's answer to Is the category of Banach spaces with contractions an algebraic theory? I've just spent a merry time reading and doing a bit of reference chasing. Imagine my delight ...
