This paper investigates the computational complexity of deciding if a given finite idempotent algebra has a ternary term operation $m$ that satisfies the minority equations $m(y,x,x) approx m(x,y,x) approx m(x,x,y) approx y$. We show that a common polynomial-time approach to testing for this type of condition will not work in this case and that this decision problem lies in the class NP.

We show that for a fixed positive integer k one can efficiently decide if a finite algebra A admits a k-ary weak near unanimity operation by looking at the local behavior of the terms of A. We also observe that the problem of deciding if a given fini te algebra has a quasi Taylor operation is solvable in polynomial time by looking, essentially, for local quasi Siggers operations.
We study the problem of whether a given finite algebra with finitely many basic operations contains a cube term; we give both structural and algorithmic results. We show that if such an algebra has a cube term then it has a cube term of dimension at most $N$, where the number $N$ depends on the arities of basic operations of the algebra and the size of the basic set. For finite idempotent algebras we give a tight bound on $N$ that, in the special case of algebras with more than $binom{|A|}2$ basic operations, improves an earlier result of K. Kearnes and A. Szendrei. On the algorithmic side, we show that deciding the existence of cube terms is in P for idempotent algebras and in EXPTIME in general. Since an algebra contains a $k$-ary near unanimity operation if and only if it contains a $k$-dimensional cube term and generates a congruence distributive variety, our algorithm also lets us decide whether a given finite algebra has a near unanimity operation.
We study the computational complexity of deciding whether a given set of term equalities and inequalities has a solution in an $omega$-categorical algebra $mathfrak{A}$. There are $omega$-categorical groups where this problem is undecidable. We show that if $mathfrak{A}$ is an $omega$-categorical semilattice or an abelian group, then the problem is in P or NP-hard. The hard cases are precisely those where Pol$(mathfrak{A}, eq)$ has a uniformly continuous minor-preserving map to the clone of projections on a two-element set. The results provide information about algebras $mathfrak{A}$ such that Pol$(mathfrak{A}, eq)$ does not satisfy this condition, and they are of independent interest in universal algebra. In our proofs we rely on the Barto-Pinsker theorem about the existence of pseudo-Siggers polymorphisms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the pseudo-Siggers identity has been used to prove a complexity dichotomy.
We characterize absorption in finite idempotent algebras by means of Jonsson absorption and cube term blockers. As an application we show that it is decidable whether a given subset is an absorbing subuniverse of an algebra given by the tables of its basic operations.
In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of deciding if a given finite algebraic structure satisfies a fixed (strong) Maltsev condition $Sigma$. Our goal in this paper is to show that $Sigma$-testing can be accomplished in polynomial time when the algebras tested are idempotent and the Maltsev condition $Sigma$ can be described using paths. Examples of such path conditions are having a Maltsev term, having a majority operation, and having a chain of Jonsson (or Gumm) terms of fixed length.
