摘要

In our LICS 2004 paper we introduced an approach to the study of the local structure of finite algebras and relational structures that aims at applications in the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). This approach involves a graph associated with an algebra A or a relational structure A, whose vertices are the elements of A (or A), the edges represent subsets of A such that the restriction of some term operation of A is `good' on the subset, that is, act as an operation of one of the 3 types: semilattice, majority, or affine. In this paper we significantly refine and advance this approach. In particular, we prove certain connectivity and rectangularity properties of relations over algebras related to components of the graph connected by semilattice and affine edges. We also prove a result similar to 2-decomposition of relations invariant under a majority operation, only here we do not impose any restrictions on the relation. These results allow us to give a new, somewhat more intuitive proof of the bounded width theorem: the CSP over algebra A has bounded width if and only if A does not contain affine edges. Actually, this result shows that bounded width implies width (2,3). We also consider algebras with edges from a restricted set of types. In particular, it can be proved that type restrictions are preserved under the standard algebraic constructions. Finally, we prove that algebras without semilattice edges have few subalgebras of powers, that is, the CSP over such algebras is also polynomial time.
