Green's relations, regularity and abundancy for semigroups of quasi-onto transformations. (Q896225)

Let \(q\leq p\) be two cardinals. For a set \(X\) such that \(|X|=p\), the paper under review studies the semigroup, denoted \(AE(X,q)\), of all transformations whose defect, that is the cardinality of the complement of the image, is strictly smaller than \(q\). Transformations in \(AE(X,q)\) are called \textit{quasi onto}. The results of the paper include a description of regular subsemigroups in \(AE(X,q)\) which are maximal with respect to inclusion, a description of both Green's relations and their \(*\)-analogues, and a proof of the fact that \(AE(X,q)\) is a right abundant semigroup.
