A finite algebra A = (A; F-A) is said to be order-primal if its clone of all term operations is the set of all operations defined on A which preserve a given partial order <= on A. In this paper we study algebraic properties of order-primal algebras for connected ordered sets (A; <=). Such order-primal algebras are constantive, simple and have no non-identical automorphisms. We show that in this case F-A cannot have only unary fundamental operations or only one at least binary fundamental operation. We prove several properties of the varieties and the quasi-varieties generated by constantive and simple algebras and apply these properties to order-primal algebras. Further, we use the properties of order-primal algebras to formulate new primality criteria for finite algebras
There is a close connection between a variety and its clone. The clone of a variety is a multibased algebra, where the different universes are the sets of n-ary terms over this variety for every natural number n and where the operations describe the superposition of terms of different arities. All projections are added as nullary operations. Subvarieties correspond to homomorphic images of clones. Subclones can be described by reducts of varieties, isomorphic clones by equivalent varieties. Clone identities correspond to hyperidentities and varieties of clones to hypervarieties. Pseudovarieties are classes of finite algebras which are closed under taking of subalgebras, homomorphic images and finite direct products. Pseudovarieties are important in the theories of finite state automata, rational languages, finite semigroups and their connections. In a very natural way, there arises the question for the clone of a pseudovariety. In the present paper, we will describe this algebraic structure
A hypersubstitution is a map which takes n-ary operation symbols to n-ary terms. Any such map can be uniquely extended to a map defined on the set W-tau(X) of all terms of type tau, and any two such extensions can be composed in a natural way. Thus, the set Hyp(tau) of all hypersubstitutions of type tau forms a monoid. In this paper, we characterize Green's relation R on the monoid Hyp(tau) for the type tau = (n, n). In this case, the monoid of all hypersubstitutions is isomorphic with the monoid of all Clone endomorphisms. The results can be applied to mutually derived varieties
