Abstract

Let ₃ denote the variety of alternative commutative (Jordan) algebras defined by the identity x³ = 0, and let ₂ be the subvariety of the variety ₃ of solvable algebras of solviability index 2. We present an infinite independent system of identities in the variety ₃ ∩ ₂₂. Therefore we infer that ₃ ∩ ₂₂ contains a continuum of infinite based subvarieties and that there exist algebras with an unsolvable words problem in ₃ ∩ ₂₂. It is worth mentioning that these results were announced in 1999 in works of the international conference "Loops’99" (Prague).
