Varietal free products of bands.
In an earlier paper, the authors showed that standard semigroups , and play an important role in the classification of weaker versions of alg-universality of semigroup varieties. This paper shows that quasivarieties generated by and are neither relatively alg-universal nor -universal, while there do exist finite semigroups and generating the same semigroup variety as and respectively and the quasivarieties generated by and/or are quasivar-relatively -alg-universal and -universal...
