Relational characterizations of permutable and n-permutable varieties. (English) Zbl 0545.08011

The paper rediscovers the two Mal’tsev-type theorems that a variety is permutable iff each reflexive algebraic relation is a congruence and that a variety is n-permutable for some \(n\geq 2\) iff every reflexive, transitive, algebraic relation is a congruence. Only the trivial variety has every symmetric algebraic relation being transitive.
