Skew Pairs of Idempotents in Transformation Semigroups

An ordered pair （e, f） of idempotents of a regular semigroup is called a skew pair if ef is not idempotent whereas fe is idempotent. We have shown previously that there are four distinct types of skew pairs of idempotents. Here we investigate the ubiquity of such skew pairs in full transformation semigroups.

Permutative Semigroups Whose Congruences Form a Chain

Semigroups whose congruences form a chain are often termed -semigroups. The commutative -semigroups were determined by Schein and by Tamura. A natural generalization of commutativity is permutativity: a semigroup is permutative if it satisfies a non-identity permutational identity. We completely determine the permutative -semigroups. It turns out that there are only six noncommutative examples, each of which has at most three elements.     

A Characterisation of a Class of Semigroups with Locally Commuting Idempotents

McAlister proved that a necessary and sufficient condition for a regular semigroup S to be locally inverse is that it can be embedded as a quasi-ideal in a semigroup T which satisfies the following two conditions: (1) T = TeT, for some idempotent e; and (2) eTe is inverse. We generalise this result to the class of semigroups with local units in which all local submonoids have commuting idempotents.     

On a Problem of M. Kambites Regarding Abundant Semigroups

A semigroup is regular if it contains at least one idempotent in each ?-class and in each ?-class. A regular semigroup is inverse if it satisfies either of the following equivalent conditions: (i) there is a unique idempotent in each ?-class and in each ?-class, or (ii) the idempotents commute. Analogously, a semigroup is abundant if it contains at least one idempotent in each ?*-class and in each ?*-class. An abundant semigroup is adequate if its idempotents commute. In adequate semigroups, there is a unique idempotent in each ?* and ?*-class. M. Kambites raised the question of the converse: in a finite abundant semigroup such that there is a unique idempotent in each ?* and ?*-class, must the idempotents commute? In this note, we provide a negative answer to this question.     

On Super Hamiltonian Semigroups

The concept of super hamiltonian semigroup is introduced. As a result, the structure theorems obtained by A. Cherubini and A. Varisco on quasi commutative semi-groups and quasi hamiltonian semigroups respectively are extended to super hamiltonian semigroups.     

On Legal Semigroups

A new class of semigroups with a two variable regularity law is introduced. These semigroups are non-regular semigroups but they are closely related to regular semigroups. The local and global structures of this class of semigroups are investigated.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 20M10Partially supported by a Chinese University of Hong Kong Direct Research grant, Hong Kong (98/99) # 2060152.Partially supported by a grant of the National Science Foundation, China.

On the Embedding of Ordered Semigroups into Ordered Group

It was shown in [7] that any right reversible, cancellative ordered semigroup can be embedded into an ordered group and as a consequence, it was shown that a commutative ordered semigroup can be embedded into an ordered group if and only if it is cancellative. In this paper we introduce the concept of L-maher and R-maher semigroups and use a technique similar to that used in [7] to show that any left reversible cancellative ordered L or R-maher semigroup can be embedded into an ordered group.     

所有双理想都是素双理想的半群

设S为一个半群,B是S的一个双理想(即B是S的一个满足条件BSBB的子半群)．如果对S的任意双理想C,D都有CDB蕴涵CB或DB,我们就称B为S的一个素双理想．如果K是一个N-覆盖的纯LR-带,我们就称K为一条拟链．本文证明了半群S的所有双理想都是素双理想的充分必要条件是S是一个幂等元形成拟链的纯整群并半群．     

Regular Semigroups Each of Whose Least Completely Simple Congruence Classes Has a Greatest Element

A regular semigroup S is termed locally F-regular, if each class of the least completely simple congruence ξ contains a greatest element with respect to the natural partial order. It is shown that each locally F-regular semigroup S admits an embedding into a semidirect product of a band by S/ξ. Further, if ξ satisfies the additional property that for each s ∈ S and each inverse (sξ)′ of sξ in S/ξ the set (sξ)′ ∩ V(s) is not empty, we represent S both as a Rees matrix semigroup over an F-regular semigroup as well as a certain subsemigroup of a restricted semidirect product of a band by S/ξ.

Numerical Semigroups with a Monotonic Apery Set

We study numerical semigroups S with the property that if m is the multiplicity of S and w(i) is the least element of S congruent with i modulo m, then 0 < w(1) < ... < w(m − 1). The set of numerical semigroups with this property and fixed multiplicity is bijective with an affine semigroup and consequently it can be described by a finite set of parameters. Invariants like the gender, type, embedding dimension and Frobenius number are computed for several families of this kind of numerical semigroups.

Generalized Bicyclic Semigroups and Jones Semigroups

In this paper, we consider the generalized bicyclic semigroups B_n = a, b | aⁿb = 1 and the Jones semigroups A_n = a, b | aⁿ⁺¹b = a. They are the generalizations of the bicyclic semigroup B = a, b | ab = 1 and its analogous semigroup A = a, b | a²b = a discovered by P.R., Jones in 1987. The word problem for these kinds of semigroups is solved. It is proved that, for n 2, B_n are bisimple right inverse but not inverse semigroups and that the semigroup C = a, b | a²b = a, ab² = b is the smallest idempotent-free homomorphic image of A_n. Moreover, we also prove that A_n and A_m are mutually embeddable but not isomorphic with each other if n m. As a consequence, different kind of -nontrivial [0-]simple semigroups without idempotents are discussed.AMS 1991 Subject Classification: primary 20M10 secondary 20M05.Supported by NNSF of China (19671063) and KSRF of Sichuan Education Committee ([1999]127).
