Review text

Topological representations of universal algebras can be used to discuss model theoretic questions [\textit{S. Burris} and \textit{R. McKenzie}, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 246 (1981; Zbl 0483.03019)]. For the limits of such representations, in the quoted paper it is shown that every variety representable as the class of Boolean products of a finite set of finite algebras is the join of an Abelian and a discriminator variety. This note proves a similar characterization of finite algebras A with the property that the class of all subdirect powers of A can be Boole represented with A (and a one element algebra). Such algebras A may have no nontrivial subalgebras, and are either affine or quasi primal.
