Sep 11, 2018 at 22:22 comment added Arturo Magidin (cont) where $\mathfrak{A}_2$ is the variety of abelian groups of exponent $2$. But in this case, it just says that the relatively free group of rank $r$ in $\mathrm{Var}(S_3)$ is a subdirect product of the free group of rank $r$ in $\mathrm{Var}(S_3)$ and the $C_2^r$, amalgamating precisely the latter, i.e., it says nothing at all. As far as structure, it further notes that $\mathrm{Var}(S_3) = \mathrm{A}_3\mathrm{A}_2$. This suffices to calculate the size (the objective of the paper), but not to describe the group, I think....
Sep 11, 2018 at 22:18 comment added Arturo Magidin @AndrásBátkai: It does not strike me as particularly useful; it states that if you have a dihedral group of order $2^{d+1}e$ with $e$ odd, then you can view it as a subdirect product of a dihedral group of order $2e$ and one of order $2^{d+1}$; if $\mathfrak{U}$ is the variety generated by the first, and $\mathfrak{B}$ the variety generated by the second, and $\mathfrak{V}$ is the variety generated by your original dihedral, then $F_r(\mathfrak{V})$ is "the subdirect product of $F_r(\mathfrak{U})$ and $F_r(\mathfrak{B})$ amalgamating precisely $F_r(\mathfrak{A}_2)$ (cont)
