Subdirectly dominated semigroup varieties (Q1272133)

A variety \(\mathcal V\) is subdirectly dominated if every algebra of \(\mathcal V\) is embeddable into a subdirectly irreducible algebra belonging to \(\mathcal V\). The variety of all semigroups, or of all groups, or of all lattices are examples of subdirectly dominated varieties. The authors characterize the subdirectly dominated varieties of nil semigroups, of commutative semigroups, and of completely regular semigroups.
