Fundamental semigroups having a band of idempotents

The construction by Hall of a fundamental orthodox semigroup W _B from a band B provides an important tool in the study of orthodox semigroups. We present here a semigroup S _B that plays the role of W _B for a class of semigroups having a band of idempotents B. Specifically, the semigroups we consider are weakly B-abundant and satisfy the congruence condition (C). Any orthodox semigroup S with E(S)=B lies in our class. On the other hand, if a semigroup S lies in our class, then S is Ehresmann if and only if B is a semilattice. The Hall semigroup W _B is a subsemigroup of S _B , as are the (weakly) idempotent connected semigroups V _B and U _B . We show how the structure of S _B can be used to extract information relating to arbitrary weakly B-abundant semigroups with (C).

Globals of Idempotent Semigroups

If S is a semigroup, the global (or the power semigroup) of S is the set P(S) of all nonempty subsets of S equipped with a naturally defined multiplication. A class K of semigroups is globally determined if any two semigroups of K with isomorphic globals are themselves isomorphic. We study properties of globals of idempotent semigroups and show, in particular, that the class of normal bands is globally determined.

On Classes of E-Inversive Semigroups and Semigroups Whose Idempotents Form a Subsemigroup

Abstract

A semigroup S is called E-inversive if for every a ∈ S there is an x ∈ S such that ax is idempotent. The purpose of this paper is the investigation of E-inversive semigroups and semigroups whose idempotents form a subsemigroup. Basic properties are analysed and, in particular, semigroups whose idempotents form a semilattice or a rectangular band are considered. To provide examples and characterizations, the construction methods of generalized Rees matrix semigroups and semidirect products are employed.     

A Class of Left E-adequate Semigroups

In this paper we establish a construction of a class of left E-adequate semigroups by using semilattices of cancellative monoids and fundamental left E-adequate semigroups. We first introduce concepts of type μ^＋（μ^＊,μ ） abundant semigroups and type μ^＋left E-adequate semigroups. In fact, regular semigroups are type μ^＋abundant semigroups and inverse semigroups are type μ^＋left E-adequate semigroups. Next, we construct a special kind of algebras called E^＋-product. It is proved that every E^＋-product is a type μ^＋left E-adequate semigroup, and every type μ^＋left E-adequate semigroup is isomorphic to an E^＋-product of a semilattice of cancellative monoids with a fundamental left E-adequate semigroup. Finally, as a corollary of the main result, it is deduced that every inverse semigroup is isomorphic to an E^＋-product of a Clifford semigroup by a fundamental inverse semigroup.

Actions of Inverse Semigroups on Algebras

In this article we prove that if S is a faithfully projective R-algebra and H is a finite inverse semigroup acting on S as R-linear maps such that the fixed subring S ^H  = R, then any partial isomorphism between ideals of S which are generated by central idempotents can be obtained as restriction of an R-automorphism of S and there exists a finite subgroup of automorphisms G of S with S ^G  = R.

On Some Functional Equations and Representations of Topological Semigroups

Let a representation T of a semigroup G on a linear space X be given. We call x ∈ X a finite vector if its orbit T(G) is contained in a finite-dimensional subspace. In this paper, some statements about finite vectors are applied to the following problem. For a given positive integer n > 1, describe all continuous functions f : G → ? such that the function (x₁,..., x _n ) ? f(x₁ + ? + x _n ) can be polynomially expressed via functions of sums of fewer variables.     

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.     

On Finite Presentability of Direct Products of Semigroups

A finite semigroup S is said to preserve finite generation (resp., presentability) in direct products, provided that, for every infinite semigroup T, the direct product S × T is finitely generated (resp., finitely presented) if and only if T is finitely generated (resp., finitely presented). The main result of this paper is a constructive necessary and sufficient condition for S to preserve both finite generation and presentability in direct products. The condition is that certain graphs, (s), one for each s S, are all connected. The main result is illustrated in three examples, one of which exhibits a 4-element semigroup that preserves finite generation but not finite presentability in direct products.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20M05, 05C25The first author is financially supported by the Sub-Programa Ciência e Tecnologia do 2° Quadro Comunitário de Apoio (grant number BD/ 15623/98).

Dense inverse subsemigroups of a topological inverse semigroup

In this paper we study dense inverse subsemigroups of topological inverse semigroups. We construct a topological inverse semigroup from a semilattice. Finally, we give two examples of the closure of B _{( −∞, ∞ )}¹, a topological inverse semigroup obtained by starting with the real numbers as a semilattice with the operation a ∨ b=sup{a,b}. The author would like to thank to the referee for useful suggestions.

Rank Properties of the Semigroup of Singular Transformations on a Finite Set

It is known that the semigroup Sing _n of all singular self-maps of X _n  = {1,2,…, n} has rank n(n ? 1)/2. The idempotent rank, defined as the smallest number of idempotents generating Sing _n , has the same value as the rank. (See Gomes and Howie, 1987 Gomes , G. M. S. , Howie , J. M. ( 1987 ). On the rank of certain finite semigroups of transformations . Math. Proc. Cambridge Phil. Soc. 101 : 395 – 303 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar].) Idempotents generating Sing _n can be seen as special cases (with m = r = 2) of (m, r)-path-cycles, as defined in Ay\i k et al. (2005 Ay?k , G. , Ay?k , H. , Howie , J. M. ( 2005 ). On factorisations and generators in transformation semigroups . Semigroup Forum 70 : 225 – 237 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). The object of this article is to show that, for fixed m and r, the (m, r)-rank of Sing _n , defined as the smallest number of (m, r)-path-cycles generating Sing _n , is once again n(n ? 1)/2.

Semigroups of Transformations Preserving an Equivalence Relation and a Cross-Section

Abstract

For a set X, an equivalence relation ρ on X, and a cross-section R of the partition X/ρ induced by ρ, consider the semigroup T(X, ρ, R) consisting of all mappings a from X to X such that a preserves both ρ (if (x, y)?∈?ρ then (xa, ya)?∈?ρ) and R (if r?∈?R then ra?∈?R). The semigroup T(X, ρ, R) is the centralizer of the idempotent transformation with kernel ρ and image R. We determine the structure of T(X, ρ, R) in terms of Green's relations, describe the regular elements of T(X, ρ, R), and determine the following classes of the semigroups T(X, ρ, R): regular, abundant, inverse, and completely regular.     

一类Clifford半群的幂半群

Let S =∪（Gα ： α ∈ E） be a semilattice of groups（i.e., a Cliford semigroup） and n a natural number. E is called an n-element chain of groups if it is an n-element chain. Denote by Cn the set of all n-element chains of groups. In this paper we shall show that for any natural number n, the class of semigroups Cn satisfies the strong isomorphism property.
