Abstract

We prove that for any variety $$mathcal{V}$$ , the existence of an edge-term (defined in [1]) and Jónsson terms is equivalent to the existence of a near-unanimity term. We also characterize the idempotent Maltsev conditions which are defined by a system of linear absorption equations and which imply congruence distributivity.
