and concrete Mal’cev clones are commonly denoted as Mal’cev clones. (Of course, each concrete Mal’cev clone is an abstract one.) Let T be any partial theory and K be an arbitrary dht-symmetric category. Then the monoidal dht-symmetric functors F : T → K can be considered as the natural functorial description of the notion of a T -algebra over K. Especially for K = Par one obtains thus the natural functorial description of a partial T -algebra. For any functorial T -algebra over K, F : T → K, the authors introduce the arityinterpretation (“typization”) of T F ⊆ K, which is again a partial theory, Ary Im F . One observes, that each C-clone G by assumption generates a partial theory GC(Ko J ) = T ∈ |T hJ |, and then G is also called the (Mal’cev) clone-part of T . One may consider the problem to characterize the clone-part of a partial theory T independently of its connection to T . If T ∈ |T hJ | and F : T → K is a T -algebra over K, then we define Mcl F : = {(A, fF,B); f : A → B ∈ T , B ∈ J ∪ {I,O}}. This is the clone-part of the partial theory AryImF . It is also called the Mal’cev clone of the T -algebra F . In particular this notion applies to the case K = Par . In this case, Mcl F is obviously a concrete Mal’cev clone. Observe, that F maps the clone-part Mcl IdT of T onto Mcl F . The connection between the structures of partial theories T and their cloneparts Mcl T can be derived from the clone-part functor Cp = (|Cp|, Cp) : T hJ → MclJ , which is defined by: T |Cp| = Mcl T (T ∈ |T hJ |), F Cp = F ∣∣ MclT (F = (|F |, F ) : T → T ′ ∈ T hJ ). The clone-part functor is fully faithful. This has several consequences which are described in section 7.2 of the book. In section 8 the authors study clones which are derived from free algebras. 11 Strong Varieties, Regular Hyperidentities and Solid Strong Varieties Strong varieties of partial algebras of the same type are model classes of partial algebras defined by so-called strong identities. A strong identity in a partial algebra A is a pair (s, t) ∈
