Abstract
A new protomodular analog of the classical criterion for the existence of a group term in the algebraic theory of a variety of universal algebras is given. To this end, the notion of a right-cancellable protomodular algebra is introduced. The translation group functor from the category of right-cancellable algebras of a protomodular variety to the category of groups is constructed. It is proved that the algebraic theory of a variety of universal algebras contains a group term if and only if it contains protomodular terms with respect to which all algebras from the variety are right-cancellable. Moreover, the right-cancellable algebras from the simplest protomodular varieties are characterized as sets with principal group actions as well as groups with simple additional structures.
