Exponentiability in categories of lax algebras

Maria Manuel Clementino, Dirk Hofmann and Walter Tholen

Dedicated to Nico Pumplun on the occasion of his seventieth birthday

For a complete cartesian-closed category V with coproducts, and for any pointed endofunctor T of the category of sets satisfying a suitable Beck-Chevalley-type condition, it is shown that the category of lax reflexive (T,V)-algebras is a quasitopos. This result encompasses many known and new examples of quasitopoi.

Keywords: lax algebra, partial product, locally cartesian-closed category, quasitopos
