Abstract
The system of all congruence lattices of all algebras with fixed base set A forms a lattice with respect to inclusion, denoted by \(\mathcal {E}_A\). Let A be finite. The meet-irreducible elements of \(\mathcal {E}_A\) are congruence lattices of monounary algebras. We assume that (A, f) has a connected subalgebra B such that B contains at least 3 cyclic elements and is meet-irreducible in \({\mathcal {E}}_B\) and we prove several sufficient conditions under which \({{\,\mathrm{Con}\,}}(A, f)\) is meet-irreducible in \({\mathcal {E}}_A\).
