Notes on effective descent and projectivity in quasivarieties of universal algebras

Ana Helena Roque

We present sufficient conditions under which effective descent morphisms in a quasivariety of universal algebras are the same as regular epimorphisms and examples for which they are the same as regular epimorphisms satisfying projectivity.

Keywords: effective descent, projectivity, quasivariety
