The aim of this paper is to describe how varieties of algebras of type τ can be classified by using the form of the terms which build the (defining) identities of the variety. There are several possibilities to do so. In [3], [19], [15] normal identities were considered, i.e. identities which have the form x ≈ x or s ≈ t, where s and t contain at least one operation symbol. This was generalized in [14] to k-normal identities and in [4] to P-compatible identities. More generally, we select a subset...
An algebra is uniform if for each , every two classes of have the same cardinality. It was shown by W. Taylor that coherent varieties need not be uniform (and vice versa). We show that every coherent variety having transferable congruences is uniform.
