Associated right chain semigroups

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider semigroups with 1 in which the set of all right ideals is ordered by inclusion, briefly right chain semigroups. Such a semigroup \(H\) is left ordered by \(a\leq b\Leftrightarrow b=ac\) for some \(c\) if and only if \(aH=bH\Rightarrow a=b\). If this relation \(\leq\) is a right as well as left ordering, \(H\) is called a holoid. Two right chain semigroups \(H_1\), \(H_2\) are said to be associated if there is a bijection \(f\) from a set of representatives for the right ideals of \(H_1\) to that of \(H_2\) such that \(b\geq a\) implies \(b=ac\) for a representative \(c\) in \(H_1\) and \(f(b)H_2=f(a)f(c)H_2\). They ask (i) when is a right chain semigroup associated to one that is contained in a group? And (ii) which right chain semigroups are associated to \(R^\times\), where \(R\) is a right chain domain? Though no complete answers are given, the authors give an example of a holoid of ordinal \(<\omega^I\) for \(I\geq 2\) which is not embeddable in a group but is associated to a right chain subsemigroup of a group. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0946.00017].
