Abstract: We show that in a category with pullbacks, arbitrary sifted colimits may be constructed as filtered colimits of reflexive coequalizers. This implies that "lex sifted colimits", in the sense of Garner--Lack, decompose as Barr-exactness plus filtered colimits commuting with finite limits. We also prove generalizations of these results for kappa-small sifted and filtered colimits, and their interaction with lambda-small limits in place of finite ones, generalizing Garner's characterization of algebraic exactness in the sense of Ad'amek--Lawvere--Rosick'y. Along the way, we prove a general result on classes of colimits, showing that the kappa-small restriction of a saturated class of colimits is still "closed under iteration".
