Summary:
We study the weak hereditary class $S_{w}(\mathcal K)$ of all weak subalgebras of algebras in a total variety $\mathcal K$. We establish an algebraic characterization, in the sense of Birkhoff’s HSP theorem, and a syntactical characterization of these classes. We also consider the problem of when such a weak hereditary class is weak equational.
