Abstract.
As J. W. Snow showed, every linear Mal’tsev condition on a variety \({\mathcal{V}}\) of universal algebras, is equivalent to a relational condition on \({\mathcal{V}}\). Using slightly different relational reformulations of linear Mal’tsev conditions, we develop a purely categorical approach to these conditions.
