In this paper we prove that a finite partial commutative (idempotent commutative) Latin square can be embedded in a finite commutative (idempotent commutative) Latin square. These results are then used to show that the loop varieties defined by any non-empty subset of the identities {x(xy) = y, (yx)x = y} and the quasi-group varieties defined by any non-empty subset of {x” = x, x(xy) = y, (yx)x...

A group G is (finitely) co-Hopfian if it does not contain any proper (finite-index) subgroups isomorphic to itself. We study finitely generated groups that admit a descending chain of normal finite-index subgroups, each which G. prove up finite index, these are always obtained by pulling back from free abelian quotient. give two applications: First, we show characteristic subgroup arises the ab...
