Abstract
Our aim is to analyze and to publicize two interesting properties — well known in universal algebra for varieties — that a regular category, and in particular an exact category, may possess: theMaltsev property, asserting the permutabilitySR=RS of equivalence relations on any object, and the weakerGoursat property, asserting only thatSRS=RSR. We investigate these properties, give various equivalent forms of them, and develop some of their useful consequences.
