Abstract: We study monoids generated by various combinations of idempotents and one- or two-sided units of an infinite partial Brauer monoid. This yields a total of eight such monoids, each with a natural characterisation in terms of relationships between parameters associated to Brauer graphs. We calculate the relative ranks of each monoid modulo any other such monoid it may contain, and then apply these results to determine the Sierpinski rank of each monoid, and ascertain which ones have the semigroup Bergman property. We also make some fundamental observations about idempotents and units in arbitrary monoids, and prove some general results about relative ranks for submonoids generated by these sets. Dedicated to Dr Des FitzGerald on the occasion of his 70th birthday.


The paper under reviews studies various algebraic properties of infinite partial Brauer monoids and their submonoids. The main emphasis is on the questions related to generation by idempotents and one- or two-sided units for eight monoids associated to partial Brauer monoids. The main results of the paper describe the relative ranks (that is the minimal number of additional generators) of each of these monoids modulo any other contained in it. This is then applied to determine the Sierpinski rank of each monoid and determine which of these monoids have the semigroup Bergman property.
