Here is an Abstract of a manuscript recently submitted, and available on

On generation and implicit partial operations in
locally presentable categories
Michel Hebert (The American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt)
Abstract. In a locally a-presentable category C, seen as a category of a-ary
S-sorted structures, we describe the subobjects (resp. the regular, strong
subobjects) generated by a subset, first in terms of closure under specific
types of implicit partial operations (IPO), and then in syntactic terms,
using variations on the concept of dominion. This extends previous results
from [Hebert, Can. J.Math 93]. The domain of definition of an IPO of arity
s ->s is a subfunctor V >--> U(s) of the appropriate forgetful functor,
and each limit-closed domain V determines, in a natural way, a structure P(V)
in C having as its elements of sort s the (s->s)-ary IPO's with domain V
(This generalizes the fact that the elements of sort s of the free structure F(s)
can be seen as the (s->s)-ary implicit total operations in C). The P(V)'s
for subobject-closed V >--> Us with | s | < a are precisely the
a-generated objects (in the sense of Gabriel-Ulmer) of C. Finally we use
IPO's to give a characterization of the so-called a-retractions,
which parallels the known syntactic characterization of a-pure morphisms.
The point of view adopted in this paper is the one of the algebraist or
model-theorist wishing to use the tools of category theory without making
radical changes in the concrete description of his/her favourite structures
(in particular without modifying the type). A part of the paper deals with
the translation problems which arise.
