Abstract: For G a group and g in G, we define mappings pg(G) and lg(G) from G into G by pg(x)=[x,g] and lg(x)=[g,x]. We let P(G) and L(G) denote the subsemigroups of the set of all mappings from G to G generated by {pg: g in G} and {lg: g in G}, respectively. P(G) and L(G) are called the right and left commutation semigroup of G, respectively. In this paper we will give explicit formulas for the orders of both P(G) and L(G) where G is a dihedral group.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a group. For every \(g\in G\) two kinds of transformations of \(G\) are considered: \(\rho_g(x)=[x,g]\), \(\lambda_g(x)=[g,x]\). Let \(\mathbf P(G)\) and \(\Lambda(G)\) be the semigroups of transformations generated by the sets \(\{\rho_g:g\in G\}\) and \(\{\lambda_g:g\in G\}\), respectively. Explicit formulas for the orders of \(\mathbf P(G)\) and \(\Lambda(G)\) are developed when \(G=D_m\), the dihedral group of order \(2m\). These formulas are applied to determining when the orders of \(\mathbf P(G)\) and \(\Lambda(G)\) coincide or these semigroups are isomorphic.
