Primitive and almost primitive elements of Schreier varieties (Q2416810)

According to the classical monograph by \textit{P. M. Cohn} [Universal Algebra. New York etc.: Harper and Row (1965; Zbl 0141.01002)], a variety of universal algebras is a class of all algebras that satisfy all identities from a given set of identities. The article is a survey of properties of the primitive and almost primitive elements of Schreier varieties of linear algebras, that is, varieties in which any subalgebra of a free algebra of this variety is free.
