A construction of finite commutative nilsemigroups

From MaRDI portal





A semigroup is called nil if it has zero 0 and some power of every element is 0. In this paper the author constructs finite commutative nil semigroups \(N\) as homomorphic images of the finitely generated commutative free semigroup \(F\). The problem is reduced to determine all congruences \(C\) on \(F\) such that \(F/C\) is a finite nil semigroup. Such a congruence is determined by a `cofinite ideal', and a `coherent filter set'. The construction in this paper is similar to \textit{B. Arendt} and \textit{C. Stuth}'s [Pac. J. Math. 35, 1--6, 7--9 (1970; Zbl 0209.32505)] but much more detailed and refined. However, the author's result also turns out to be a refinement and reorganization of the reviewer's [Osaka Math. J. 10, 191--204 (1958; Zbl 0084.02604)].
