Congruence lattices forcing nilpotency

Abstract

Given a lattice $\mathbb{L}$ and a class $K$ of algebraic structures, we say that $\mathbb{L}$ \emph{forces nilpotency} in $K$ if every algebra $\mathbf{A}\in K$ whose congruence lattice $\mathrm{Con}(\mathbf{A})$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{L}$ is nilpotent. We describe congruence lattices that force nilpotency, supernilpotency or solvability for some classes of algebras. For this purpose, we investigate which commutator operations can exist on a given congruence lattice.
