Central extensions in Mal'tsev varieties.
An algebra is tolerance trivial if where is the lattice of all tolerances on . If contains a Mal’cev function compatible with each , then is tolerance trivial. We investigate finite algebras satisfying also the converse statement.
We give Mal’cev conditions for varieties 4V4 whose congruences on the product , are determined by their restrictions on the axes in .
We present a countable infinite chain of conditions which are essentially weaker then congruence modularity (with exception of first two). For varieties of algebras, the third of these conditions, the so called 4-submodularity, is equivalent to congruence modularity. This is not true for single algebras in general. These conditions are characterized by Maltsev type conditions.
