✦ Synopsis
Analogously to the fact that Lawvere's algebraic theories of finitary varieties Ž . are precisely the small categories with finite products, we prove that i algebraic theories of many-sorted quasivarieties are precisely the small, left exact categories Ž . with enough regular injectives and ii algebraic theories of many-sorted Horn classes are precisely the small left exact categories with enough M M-injectives, where M M is a class of monomorphisms closed under finite products and containing all regular monomorphisms. We also present a Gabriel᎐Ulmer-type duality theory for quasivarieties and Horn classes.

We introduce the concept of separated limit sketch and prove that quasivarieties of algebras are precisely the categories sketchable by separated limit sketches. We also characterize categories sketchable by product-mono sketches as precisely the quasivarieties with effective -strong equivalence rel
## Abstract A quasivariety is said to be __implicative__ if it is generated by a class of algebras with equationally‐definable implication of equalities. Implicative finitely‐generated quasivarieties appear naturally within logic, for instance, as equivalent quasivarieties of Gentzen‐style calculi
It is shown that any subvariety Y of the variety of bounded distributive lattices with a quantifier, as considered by Cignoli (1991), contains either uncountably or finitely many quasivarieties depending on whether Vcontains the 4-element bounded Boolean lattice with a simple quantifier. It is also
