In science:

Elements of Clon V are equivalence classes of n-ary term operations of the algebras in V, where terms t and t′ are equivalent if t(x) = t′ (x) is an identity of V.
Abelian extensions of algebras in congruence-modular varieties
Clon V for some n, and a ∈ An , and h[v ; a] = v (a).
Abelian extensions of algebras in congruence-modular varieties
Let X 2 V (A), or simply X 2 , denote the A-set [[S 2 , k ]], where S 2 is the set of triples [v ′ , v; a], where a is an element of An for some n, v is an n′ -tuple of elements of Clon V, for some n′ , and v ′ ∈ Clon′ V, and where k [v ′ , v; a] = v ′ (v(a)).
Abelian extensions of algebras in congruence-modular varieties
Because E is an algebra in V, sending each v ∈ Clon V to the operation vE , for all n, is a clone homomorphism from Clo V to the clone Clo U (E ) of all finitary operations on the set U (E ).
Abelian extensions of algebras in congruence-modular varieties
This means that for each v ∈ (Clon V)n′ , and each v ′ ∈ Clon′ V, we have v ′E vE = (v ′v)E , where the clone composition on the left takes place in Clo U (E ), and that on the right takes place in Clo V.
