Compactness of systems of equations on completely regular semigroups

From MaRDI portal





A semigroup is said to have a compactness property if each system of equations over a finite set of variables has an equivalent finite subsystem. [In Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 29, 69-73 (1986; Zbl 0584.20027)], \textit{M. H. Albert} and \textit{J. E. Lawrence} proved that a variety of groups has the compactness property if and only if its finitely generated members have the ascending chain condition for normal subgroups. In the present paper the authors characterize, in an analogous way, those varieties of completely regular unary semigroups having the compactness property. A different characterization is provided in the case where the finitely generated members have finite matrices. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00014].
