Abstract.
The paper shows that certain sums of algebras admit a representation as subdirect products. As a corollary, one obtains a characterization of subdirectly irreducible algebras. Examples of modes show that the characterization gives a good basis for a detailed investigation of the subdirectly irreducible algebras.
