Abstract: | An algebra is called weakly diagonal if every subuniverse of its square contains the graph of an automorphism. We show that
every variety generated by a finite algebra with no proper subalgebras has a weakly diagonal generator. The result is applied
in several ways and, in particular, to show that every arithmetical affine complete variety of finite type has equationally
definable principal congruences.
This paper is dedicated to Walter Taylor.
