Structure and Complexity of 2-Nilpotent Mal'cev Algebras

We investigate the structure of central extensions for algebras in a congruence modular variety. We use a multisorted algebraic object called a clonoid to understand the term clone of such a central extension. We develop the difference clonoid of such a central extension and use it to show that the number of $2$-step n...
