Abstract: The paper deals with Sigma−composition and Sigma-essential composition of terms, which lead to stable and s-stable varieties of algebras. A full description of all stable varieties of semigroups, commutative and idempotent groupoids is obtained. We use an abstract reduction system which simplifies the presentations of terms of type au=(2) to study the varietiy of idempotent groupoids and s-stable varieties of groupoids. They are used as an alternating of the stable varieties, aiming to highlight replacing the subterms of a term in a deductive systems instead of the usual replacing the variables with terms.


A position and subterm on that position in a term is essential if it can be used to change the value of the term in some representation of that term in an algebra; a variety \(V\) is called stable if the set \(\Sigma=\text{Id}(V)\) of defining identities is also closed for substitution of subterms in essential positions. Here are described all stable varieties of semigroups and groupoids, e.g. a variety of semigroups is stable iff it consists of zero, right (left)-zero semigroups or satisifes besides the associativity identity one of the identities \(x_1x_2x_3=x_1x_2\), \(x_1x_2x_3=x_2x_3\) or \(x_1x_2x_3=x_2x_3\).
