Semigroups of transformations whose characters belong to a given semigroup

From MaRDI portal





For a non-empty set \(X\), let \(P=\{ X_i : i\in I\}\) be a partition of \(X\), let \(E\) be the equivalence relation on \(X\) induced by \(P\), let \(T(X)\) be the (full) transformation semigroup on \(X\) (under composition) and let \N\begin{align*} \NT(X,P) &=\{ f \in T(X) : \forall X_i\in P\ \, \exists X_j\in P,\ \, (X_i)f\subseteq X_j \} \\\N&= \{ f \in T(X) : \forall x,y\in X,\ \, (x,y)\in E\Rightarrow (xf,yf)\in E \} \N\end{align*}\Nwhich is a subsemigroup of \(T(X)\). For each \(f\in T(X,P)\), the transformation \(\chi^{(f)} : I\rightarrow I\) is defined by \(i\chi^{(f)}=j\) whenever \((X_i)f\subseteq X_j\); and is called the character of \(f\). For any subsemigroup \(\mathbb{S}(I)\) of \(T(I)\), let \N\[ \NT_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P) = \{ f \in T(X,P) : \chi^{(f)}\in \mathbb{S}(I) \} \N\]\Nwhich is a subsemigroup of \(T(X,P)\).\N\NIn this paper, for a general subsemigroup \(\mathbb{S}(I)\) of \(T(I)\), the semigroup \(T_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P)\) is studied. Regular and idempotent elements of \(T_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P)\) are described. In particular, it is shown in Theorem 3.5 that\N\(T_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P)\) is regular if and only if \(\mathbb{S}(I)\) is regular and for each \(\alpha\in \mathbb{S}(I)\), if there exists \(i\in I\) such that \(\lvert i\alpha^{-1} \rvert \geq 2\), then \(\lvert X_{i} \rvert=1\).\N\NIt is also shown in Theorem 3.10 that\N\(T_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P)\) is an inverse semigroup if and only if \(\mathbb{S}(I)\) is an inverse semigroup and for each idempotent \(\alpha\) of \(\mathbb{S}(I)\), \(\lvert X_{i} \rvert=1\) for all \(i\in I\alpha\).\N\NMoreover, if \(\mathbb{S}(I)\) contains the identity, unit-regular elements in \(T_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P)\) are described. At the end, Green's relations on \(T_{\mathbb{S}(I)}(X,P)\) are characterized.
