Normal bands of unipotent monoids

From MaRDI portal





A monoid \(M\) is called unipotent if the identity is its only idempotent and \(M\) is right unit-reductive if \(axa=xa\) for all \(x\) in \(M\) implies that \(a\) is the identity of \(M\); the notion of left unit-reductivity is defined dually and \(M\) is unit-reductive if it is both left and right unit-reductive. A structure theorem is given for bands of unit-reductive monoids. From this it is proved that a strong semilattice of Rees matrix semigroups over monoids without zero is a normal band of monoids and conversely \(S\) is a normal band of unipotent monoids if and only if \(S\) is a strong semilattice of Rees matrix semigroups over unipotent monoids. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00025].
