Finite generation of congruence preserving functions

Rings and Algebras 2019-09-04 v2

Abstract

We investigate when the clone of congruence preserving functions is finitely generated. We obtain a full description for all finite pp-groups, and for all finite algebras with Mal'cev term and simple congruence lattice. The characterization for pp-groups allows a generalization to a large class of expansions of groups.
