Generating clones with conservative near-unanimity operation

Abstract

Due to the Baker-Pixley theorem we know that every clone over a finite domain AA containing a near-unanimity operation gg is finitely generated. Therefore there exists an integer kk such that the clone is generated by its kk-ary part. In this paper we are interested in the size of kk for a fixed AA and fixed arity of a conservative gg. We obtain lower bounds for all arities and they turn out to be sharp for arity three.
