Equations in finite semigroups: Explicit enumeration and asymptotics of solution numbers (Q598458): Difference between revisions

The authors study the number of solutions of the equation \(X^\alpha = X^\beta\) in a finite semigroup \(G\), and also the number of solutions of the system \(X^2=X\), \(Y^2=Y\), \(XY=YX\) in \(H \wr T_n\), the wreath product of an arbitrary finite group \(H\) with the full transformation semigroup \(T_n\) on \(n\) letters. Both exact formulas and asymptotic estimates are given.
