Review text

A paraprimal algebra is a common generalization of a simple Abelian group and of a quasiprimal algebra. Each of these has a well understood duality for the quasivariety it generates. In this paper, we extend duality theory to the quasivariety generated by a paraprimal algebra. Interestingly, we do not need to develop any new tools, but rather use appropriate bits and pieces of known dualities: if we do our bookkeeping carefully, we get the duality free of charge. We concentrate on one explicit example, the 7-element Steiner quasigroup and prove in detail a duality for it. Then we comment on the general case. We refer the reader to \textit{Á. Szendrei} [Clones in universal algebra (1986; Zbl 0603.08004)] for an extensive discussion of paraprimal algebras. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0879.00039].
