A note on normal varieties of monounary algebras

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 ${\mathrm Mod}(f^n(x)=x)$ with some $n>0$. It is shown that the smallest normal variety containing $V$ is contained in ${\m…
