The transitivity of primary conjugacy in a class of semigroups

From MaRDI portal
Publication:3387429




Abstract: Elements a,b of a semigroup S are said to be emph{primarily conjugate} or just emph{p-conjugate}, if there exist x,yinS1 such that a=xy and b=yx. The p-conjugacy relation generalizes conjugacy in groups, but for general semigroups, it is not transitive. Finding the classes of semigroups in which this notion is transitive is an open problem. The aim of this note is to show that for semigroups satisfying xyinyx,(xy)n for some n>1, primary conjugacy is transitive.
