A note on normal varieties of monounary algebras. (English) Zbl 1011.08006

Summary: A variety is called normal if no laws of the form \(s=t\) are valid in it where \(s\) is a variable and \(t\) is not a variable. Let \(L\) denote the lattice of all varieties of monounary algebras \((A,f)\) and let \(V\) be a non-trivial non-normal element of \(L\). Then \(V\) is of the form \(\text{Mod}(f^n(x)=x)\) with some \(n>0\). It is shown that the smallest normal variety containing \(V\) is contained in \(\text{HSC}(\text{Mod}(f^{mn}(x)=x))\) for every \(m>1\), where C denotes the operator of forming choice algebras. Moreover, it is proved that the sublattice of \(L\) consisting of all normal elements of \(L\) is isomorphic to \(L\).
