Abstract: | Let A be a universal algebra and H its subalgebra. The dominion of H in A (in a class {ie304-01}) is the set of all elements
a ∈ A such that every pair of homomorphisms f, g: A → ∈ {ie304-02} satisfies the following: if f and g coincide on H, then
f(a) = g(a). A dominion is a closure operator on a set of subalgebras of a given algebra. The present account treats of closed
subalgebras, i.e., those subalgebras H whose dominions coincide with H. We introduce projective properties of quasivarieties
which are similar to the projective Beth properties dealt with in nonclassical logics, and provide a characterization of closed
algebras in the language of the new properties. It is also proved that in every quasivariety of torsion-free nilpotent groups
of class at most 2, a divisible Abelian subgroup H is closed in each group 〈H, a〉 generated by one element modulo H.
