Abstract

A variety is a category of ordered (finitary) algebras presented by inequations between terms. We characterize categories enriched over the category of posets which are equivalent to a variety. This is quite analogous to Lawvere’s classical characterization of varieties of ordinary algebras. We also study the relationship of varieties to discrete Lawvere theories, and varieties as concrete categories over $$\mathbf{ Pos }$$ .
