    I’m making some edits to locally finitely presentable category, and removing some old query boxes. A punchline was extracted, I believe, from the first query box. The second I don’t think is too important (it looks like John misunderstood).

    +–{: .query} Mike: Do people really call finitely presentable objects “finitary”? I’ve only seen that word applied to functors (those that preserve filtered colimits). Toby: I have heard ’finite’; see compact object. Mike: Yes, I’ve heard ’finite’ too. =–

    +– {: .query} Toby: In the list of equivalent conditions above, does this essentially algebraic theory also have to be finitary?; that is, if it's an algebraic theory, then it's a Lawvere theory?
    Mike: Yes, it certainly has to be finitary. Possibly the standard meaning of “essentially algebraic” implies finitarity, though, I don’t know. Toby: I wouldn't use ’algebraic’ that way; see algebraic theory. John Baez: How come the first sentence of this paper seems to suggest that the category of models of any essentially algebraic theory is locally finitely presentable? The characterization below, which I did not write, seems to agree. Here there is no restriction that the theory be finitary. Does this contradict what Mike is saying, or am I just confused?
    Mike: The syntactic category of a non-finitary essentially algebraic theory is not a category with finite limits but a category with κ\kappa-limits where κ\kappa is the arity of the theory. A finitary theory can have infinitely many sorts and operations; what makes it finitary is that each operation only takes finitely many inputs, hence can be characterized by an arrow whose domain is a finite limit. I think this makes the first sentence of that paper completely consistent with what I’m saying. =–

    Is there an example of a category which is

    - locally finitely presentable
    - Barr-exact (aka effective regular)

    but is not the category of algebras of a Lawvere algebraic theory?

    Almost any presheaf topos would do. (A topos is Barr-exact, and in the presheaf case [C op,Set][C^{op}, Set], this is equivalent to the category of lex functors D→SetD \to Set where D opD^{op} is the finite-colimit completion of CC, if I have my variances straight.)

    If VV is a locally finitely presentable symmetric monoidal closed category then there is a bijection between exact localizations of the VV-category of VV-enriched presheaves on a VV-category CC and enriched Grothendieck topologies on CC:
