Abstract: In this paper we study ends of finitely generated semigroups. The ends we are working with are the ends of the undirected graphs of Cayley graphs of finitely generated semigroups. We prove that the number of ends is preserved for subsemigroups of finite Rees index, and prove the same result for finite Green index subsemigroups of cancellative semigroups.

Review text

Let \(A\) be a finite generating set for a semigroup \(S\). Elements \(x,y\in S\) are adjacent in the right undirected Cayley graph \(\Gamma_r(S,A)\) of \(S\) (denoted \(x\sim y\)) iff either \(y=xa\) or \(x=ya\), \(a\in A\). A ray is a sequence \(x=(x_0,x_1,x_2,\ldots)\) of distinct vertices such that \(x_0\sim x_1\sim x_2\sim\cdots\); rays \(x,y\) are equivalent if there is a ray meeting each \(x\) and \(y\) at infinitely many vertices; corresponding equivalence classes are ends of \(\Gamma_r(S,A)\). It is proved that for finitely generated semigroups the number of ends is preserved by subsemigroups of finite Rees index and in cancellative semigroups by subsemigroups with finite Green index.
