Extract
Let F be a variety (equational class) of algebras. For n ≧ 0, Vn is the variety generated by the F-free algebra on n free generators while Vn is the variety of all algebras satisfying each identity of V which has no more than n variables. (Equivalently, Vn is the class of all algebras, , such that every n-generated subalgebra of is in V.) Note that unless nullary operation symbols are specified by the similarity type of V, V0 is the variety of all one element algebras while V° is the variety of all algebras.
