Characterizations of several Maltsev conditions. (Q2351504)

Tame congruence theory identifies six Maltsev conditions associated with locally finite varieties omitting certain types of local behaviour. Extending a result of Siggers, it is shown that of these six Maltsev conditions only two of them are equivalent to strong Maltsev conditions for locally finite varieties. Omitting the unary type, the only other of these conditions that is strong is that omitting the unary and affine types.
