It is known that any finite idempotent algebra that satisfies a nontrivial Maltsev condition must satisfy the linear one-equality Maltsev condition (a variant of the term discovered by M. Siggers and refined by K. Kearnes, P. Markovi\'c,…

The main result of this paper shows that if $\mathcal{M}$ is a consistent strong linear Maltsev condition which does not imply the existence of a cube term, then for any finite algebra $\mathbb{A}$ there exists a new finite algebra…

We extend a well-known theorem of Murski\v{\i} to the probability space of finite models of a system $\mathcal{M}$ of identities of a strong idempotent linear Maltsev condition. We characterize the models of $\mathcal{M}$ in a way that can…

Matrix conditions extend linear Mal'tsev conditions from Universal Algebra to exactness properties in Category Theory. Some can be stated in the finitely complete context while, in general, they can only be stated for regular categories. We…

We present a new algorithm to decide isomorphism between finite graded algebras. For a broad class of nilpotent Lie algebras, we demonstrate that it runs in time polynomial in the order of the input algebras. We introduce heuristics that…

We consider a generalization of finding a homomorphism from an input digraph $G$ to a fixed digraph $H$, HOM($H$). In this setting, we are given an input digraph $G$ together with a list function from $G$ to $2^H$. The goal is to find a…

For some Maltsev conditions $\Sigma$ it is enough to check if a finite algebra $\mathbf A$ satisfies $\Sigma$ locally on subsets of bounded size, in order to decide, whether $\mathbf A$ satisfies $\Sigma$ (globally). This local-global…

Let gamma be a (not necessarily finite) structure with a finite relational signature. We prove that deciding whether a given existential positive sentence holds in gamma is in Logspace or complete for the class CSP(gamma)_NP under…

We construct an ordered set of commutators in a partially commutative nilpotent group $F(X; \Gamma; \mathfrak N_m)$. This set allows us to define a canonical form for each element of $F(X; \Gamma; \mathfrak N_m)$. Namely, we construct a…

The circuit satisfaction problem CSAT(A) of an algebra A is the problem of deciding whether an equation over A (encoded by two circuits) has a solution or not. While solving systems of equations over finite algebras is either in P or…

We consider the following practical question: given a finite algebra A in a finite language, can we efficiently decide whether the variety generated by A has a difference term? We answer this question (positively) in the idempotent case and…

Polynomial completeness results aim at characterizing those functions that are induced by polynomials. Each polynomial function is congruence preserving, but the opposite need not be true. A finite algebraic structure $\mathbf{A}$ is called…

We provide an internal characterization of those finite algebras (i.e., algebraic structures) $\mathbf A$ such that the number of homomorphisms from any finite algebra $\mathbf X$ to $\mathbf A$ is bounded from above by a polynomial in the…

We prove that when a digraph $G$ has a Maltsev polymorphism, then $G$ also has a majority polymorphism. We consider the consequences of this result for the structure of Maltsev graphs and the complexity of the Constraint Satisfaction…

This paper investigates the computational complexity of deciding if a given finite idempotent algebra has a ternary term operation $m$ that satisfies the minority equations $m(y,x,x) \approx m(x,y,x) \approx m(x,x,y) \approx y$. We show…

Motivated by the need for efficient isomorphism tests for finite groups, we present a polynomial-time method for deciding isomorphism within a class of groups that is well-suited to studying local properties of general finite groups. We…

There are two well known types of algorithms for solving CSPs: local propagation and generating a basis of the solution space. For several years the focus of the CSP research has been on `hybrid' algorithms that somehow combine the two…

For a finite relational structure A, let CSP(A) denote the CSP instances whose constraint relations are taken from A. The resulting family of problems CSP(A) has been considered heavily in a variety of computational contexts. In this…

We derive a Mal'cev condition for congruence meet-semidistributivity and then use it to prove two theorems. Theorem A: if a variety in a finite language is congruence meet-semidistributive and residually less than some finite cardinal, then…

This paper is concerned with the taxonomy of finitely complete categories, based on 'matrix properties' - these are a particular type of exactness properties that can be represented by integer matrices. In particular, the main result of the…
