Generalized affine transformation monoids on Galois rings. (Q2469026): Difference between revisions

Summary: Let \(A\) be a ring with identity. The generalized affine transformation monoid \(\text{Gaff}(A)\) is defined as the set of all transformations on \(A\) of the form \(x\mapsto xu+a\) (for all \(x\in A\)), where \(u,a\in A\). We study the algebraic structure of the monoid \(\text{Gaff}(A)\) on a finite Galois ring \(A\). The following results are obtained: an explicit description of Green's relations on \(\text{Gaff}(A)\); and an explicit description of the Schützenberger group of every \(\mathcal D\)-class, which is shown to be isomorphic to the affine transformation group for a smaller Galois ring.
