Abstract

Let A be a finite algebra in a congruence permutable variety. We assume that for every subdirectly irreducible homomorphic image of A the centralizer of the monolith is n-supernilpotent. Then the clone of polynomial functions on A is determined by relations of arity |A|n+1. As consequences we obtain finite implicit descriptions of the polynomial functions on finite local rings with 1 and on finite groups G such that in every subdirectly irreducible quotient of G the centralizer of the monolith is a p-group.
