Abstract

Finitary quasivarieties are characterized categorically by the existence of colimits and of an abstractly finite, regularly projective regular generator G. Analogously, infinitary quasivarieties are characterized: one drops the assumption that G be abstractly finite. For varieties the characterization is similar: the regular generator is assumed to be exactly projective, i.e., hom is an exact functor. These results sharpen the classical characterization theorems of Lawvere, Isbell and other authors
