An n-ary cooperation is a mapping from a nonempty set A to the nth copower of A. A clone of cooperations is a set of cooperations which is closed under superposition and contains all injections. Coalgebras are pairs consisting of a set and a set of cooperations defined on this set. We define terms for coalgebras, coidentities and cohyperidentities. These concepts will be applied to give a new solution of the completeness problem for clones of cooperations defined on a two-element set and to separate clones of cooperations by coidentities.
The dimension of a variety V of algebras of a given type was introduced by E. Graczynska and D. Schweigert in [7] as the cardinality of the set of all derived varieties of V which are properly contained in V. In this paper, we characterize all solid varieties of dimensions 0, 1, and 2; prove that the dimension of a variety of finite type is at most N-0; give an example of a variety which has infinite dimension; and show that for every n is an element of N there is a variety with dimension n. Finally, we show that the dimension of a variety is related to the concept of the semantical kernel of a hypersubstitution and apply this connection to calculate the dimension of the class of all algebras of type tau = (n).
