Nilpotent and solvable radicals in locally finite congruence modular varieties (Q1104960)

The paper deals with the commutator theory of locally finite congruence modular varieties. For the purpose, a generalized notion of Loewy rank of a modular lattice of finite height is introduced and applied to these varieties. One of the main results is as follows: Every algebra of a congruence modular variety generated by a finite algebra has a largest nilpotent congruence and a largest solvable congruence, and these congruences are first order definable uniformly in all algebras of the variety.
