Mishchenko, S. P.; Valenti, A. An uncountable family of almost nilpotent varieties of polynomial growth. (English) Zbl 1431.16019 J. Pure Appl. Algebra 222, No. 7, 1758-1764 (2018). Summary: A non-nilpotent variety of algebras is almost nilpotent if any proper subvariety is nilpotent. Let the base field be of characteristic zero. It has been shown that for associative or Lie algebras only one such variety exists. Here we present infinite families of such varieties. More precisely we shall prove the existence of 1) a countable family of almost nilpotent varieties of at most linear growth and2) an uncountable family of almost nilpotent varieties of at most quadratic growth.
