We show that a locally finite variety which omits abelian types is self-rectangulating if and only if it has a compatible semilattice term operation. Such varieties must have type-set {5}. These varieties are residually small and, when they are finitely generated, they have definable principal congruences. We show that idempotent varieties with a compatible semilattice term operation have the congruence extension property.

AbstractWe consider the lattice of pseudovarieties contained in a given pseudovariety P. It is shown that if the lattice L of subpseudovarieties of P has finite height, then L is isomorphic to the lattice of subvarieties of a locally finite variety. Thus not every finite lattice is isomorphic to a lattice of subpseudovarieties. Moreover, the lattice of subpseudovarieties of P satisfies every positive universal sentence holding in all lattice of subvarieties of varieties V(A) ganarated by algebras A ε P.

The skeleton of a variety of groups is defined to be the intersection of the section closed classes of groups which generate . If m is an integer, m > 1, is the variety of all abelian groups of exponent dividing m, and , is any locally finite variety, it is shown that the skeleton of the product variety is the section closure of the class of finite monolithic groups in . In particular, S) generates . The elements of S are described more explicitly and as a consequence it is shown that S consists of all finite groups in if and only if m is a power of some prime p and the centre of the countably infinite relatively free group of , is a p–group.

AbstractLetHbe a subgroup ofFand{\langle\kern-1.422638pt\langle H\rangle\kern-1.422638pt\rangle_{F}}the normal closure ofHinF. We say thatHhas the Almost Congruence Extension Property (ACEP) inFif there is a finite set of nontrivial elements{\digamma\subset H}such that for any normal subgroupNofHone has{H\cap\langle\kern-1.422638pt\langle N\rangle\kern-1.422638pt\rangle_{F}=N}whenever{N\cap\digamma=\emptyset}. In this paper, we provide a sufficient condition for a subgroup of a free group to not possess ACEP. It also shows that any finitely generated subgroup of a free group satisfies some generalization of ACEP.

Grounding on defining relations of a finitely presentable subdirectly irreducible (s.i.) algebra in a variety with a ternary deductive term (TD), we define the characteristic identity of this algebra. For finite s.i. algebras the characteristic identity is equivalent to the identity obtained from Jankov formula. In contrast to Jankov formula, characteristic identity is relative to a variety and even in the varieties of Heyting algebras there are the characteristic identities not related to Jankov formula. Every subvariety of a given locally finite variety with a TD term admits an optimal axiomatization consisting of characteristic identities. There is an algorithm that reduces any finite system of axioms of such a variety to an optimal one. Each variety with a TD term can be axiomatized by characteristic identities of partial algebras, and in certain cases these identities are related to the canonical formulas.

AbstractAn example is constructed of a locally finite variety of non-associative algebras which satisfies the maximal condition on subvarieties but not the minimal condition. Based on this, counterexamples to various conjectures concerning varieties generated by finite algebras are constructed. The possibility of finding a locally finite variety of algebras which satisfies the minimal condition on subvarieties but not the maximal is also investigated.

Abstract A finitely generated group 𝐺 is said to be condensed if its isomorphism class in the space of finitely generated marked groups has no isolated points. We prove that every product variety U ⁢ V \mathcal{UV} , where 𝒰 (respectively, 𝒱) is a non-abelian (respectively, a non-locally finite) variety, contains a condensed group. In particular, there exist condensed groups of finite exponent. As an application, we obtain some results on the structure of the isomorphism and elementary equivalence relations on the set of finitely generated groups in U ⁢ V \mathcal{UV} .

Chapter 12 of "The Structure of Finite Algebras" by D. Hobby and R. McKenzie contains theorems revealing how the set of types appearing in a locally finite variety [Formula: see text] influences the size of the free algebra in [Formula: see text] freely generated by n elements. We provide more results in this vein. If A is a subdirectly irreducible algebra of size k, then a lower bound on the number of n-ary polynomials of A is obtained for each case that the monolith of A has type 3, 4, or 5. Examples for every k show that in each case the lower bound is the best possible. As an application of these results we show that for every finite k if all k-element simple algebras are partitioned into five classes according to their type, then algebras in each class have a sharply determined band of possible values for their free spectra. These five bands are disjoint except for some overlap on simple algebras of types 2 and 5.

AbstractAssume that A is a finite algebra contained in a variety that has the congruence extension property and that B is a subalgebra of A. If α ≺ β in Con A and α |B ≠ β |B, then we show that α |B ≺ β |B and that there is a close connection between the type labellings of the quotients 〈α, α〉 and 〈α|B, β|B〉.

AbstractWe study the growth of group endomorphisms, a generalization of the classical notion of growth of finitely generated groups, which is strictly related to algebraic entropy. We prove that the inner automorphisms of a group have the same growth type and the same algebraic entropy as the identity automorphism. Moreover, we show that endomorphisms of locally finite groups cannot have intermediate growth. We also find an example showing that the Addition Theorem for algebraic entropy does not hold for endomorphisms of arbitrary groups.
