Some remarks on dualisability and endodualisability

Abstract.

The fundamental problem of dualisability and the particular problem of endodualisability are discussed. It is proved tha every finite generating algebra of a quasi-variety generated by a finite dualisable algebra D is also dualisable. The corresponding result for endodualisability is true when D is subdirectly irreducible. Under special conditions, it is also proved that a finite algebra M is endodualisable if and only if any finite power M ⁿ of M is endodualisable.
