Anticommutativity and the triangular lemma

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a variety mathcalV, it has been recently shown that binary products commute with arbitrary coequalizers locally, i.e., in every fibre of the fibration of points pi:mathrmPt(mathbbC)ightarrowmathbbC, if and only if Gumm's shifting lemma holds on pullbacks in mathcalV. In this paper, we establish a similar result connecting the so-called triangular lemma in universal algebra with a certain categorical extitanticommutativity condition. In particular, we show that this anticommutativity and its local version are Mal'tsev conditions, the local version being equivalent to the triangular lemma on pullbacks. As a corollary, every locally anticommutative variety mathcalV has directly decomposable congruence classes in the sense of Duda, and the converse holds if mathcalV is idempotent.
