Lawvere theory


In category theory, a Lawvere theory (named after American mathematician William Lawvere) is a category which can be considered a categorical counterpart of the notion of an equational theory.

Let be a skeleton of the category FinSet of finite sets and functions. Formally, a Lawvere theory consists of a small category L with (strictly associative) finite products and a strict identity-on-objects functor preserving finite products.
