Self-rectangulating varieties of type 5

Rings and Algebras 2009-09-25 v1

Abstract

We show that a locally finite variety which omits abelian types is self-regulating if and only if it has a compatible semilattice term operation. Such varieties must have a 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.
