Varieties and pseudovarieties of semigroups (20M07) General structure theory for semigroups (20M10)

Abstract: Nilpotent semigroups in the sense of Mal'cev are defined by semigroup identities. Finite nilpotent semigroups constitute a pseudovariety, $mathsfMN$, which has finite rank. The semigroup identities that define nilpotent semigroups, lead us to define strongly Mal'cev nilpotent semigroups. Finite strongly Mal'cev nilpotent semigroups constitute a non-finite rank pseudovariety, $mathsfSMN$. The pseudovariety $mathsfSMN$ is strictly contained in the pseudovariety $mathsfMN$ but all finite nilpotent groups are in $mathsfSMN$. We show that the pseudovariety $mathsfMN$ is the intersection of the pseudovariety $mathsfB{G}_{nil}$ with a pseudovariety defined by a $kappa$-identity. We further compare the pseudovarieties $mathsfMN$ and $mathsfSMN$ with the Mal'cev product of the pseudovarieties $mathsfJ$ and $mathsf{G}_{nil}$.
