Transformation representations of sandwich semigroups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let a be an element of a semigroup S. The local subsemigroup of S with respect to a is the subsemigroup aSa of S. The variant of S with respect to a is the semigroup with underlying set S and operation stara defined by xstaray=xay for x,yinS. We show that the following classes contain precisely the same semigroups, up to isomorphism: all local subsemigroups of all finite full transformation semigroups; and all variants of all finite full transformation semigroups. This result was discovered as a result of some experiments (and accidents) when working with the Semigroups package for GAP.
