IfMis a mathematical system and EndMis the set of singular endomorphisms ofM, then EndMforms a semigroup under composition of mappings. A number of papers have been written to determine the subsemigroupSMof EndMgenerated by the idempotentsEMof EndMfor different systemsM. The first of these was by J. M. Howie [4]; here the case ofMbeing an unstructured setXwas considered. Howie showed that ifXis finite, then EndX=Sx.

Orthogonal Subspace

Let E be a finite dimensional vector space over an arbitrary field. In E a bilinear form is given. It associates with every sub s pa ce V its right orthogonal sub space V* and its left orthogonal subspace *V. In general we cannot expect that dim V* = dim *V. However this relation will hold in some interesting special cases.

Let k be a field of characteristic p and G a finite subgroup of GL(V) where V is a finite dimensional vector space over k. Then G acts naturally on the symmetric algebra k[V] of V. We denote by k[V]G the subring of k[V] consisting of all invariant polynomials under this action of G. The following theorem is well known.Theorem 1.1 (Chevalley-Serre, cf. [1, 2, 3]). Assume that p = 0 or (|G|, p) = 1. Then k[V]G is a polynomial ring if and only if G is generated by pseudo-reflections in GL(V).

The Ideal

Let X be a set and the semigroup (under composition) of all total transformations from X into itself. In ([6], Theorem 3) Howie characterised those elements of that can be written as a product of idempotents in different from the identity. We gather from review articles that his work was later extended by Evseev and Podran [3, 4] (and independently for finite X by Sullivan [15]) to the semigroup of all partial transformations of X into itself. Howie's result was generalized in a different direction by Kim [8], and it has also been considered in both a topological and a totally ordered setting (see [11] and [14] for brief summaries of this latter work). In addition, Magill [10] investigated the corresponding idea for endomorphisms of a Boolean ring, while J. A. Erdos [2] resolved the analogous problem for linear transformations of a finite–dimensional vector space.

Reflexive Algebras

If VK is a finite dimensional vector space over a field K and L is a lattice of subspaces of V, then, following Halmos [11], alg L is defined to be (the K-algebra of) all K-endomorphisms of V which leave every subspace in L invariant. If R ⊆ end(VK) is any subalgebra we define lat R to be (the sublattice of) all subspaces of VK which are invariant under every transformation in R. Then R ⊆ alg [lat R] and R is called a reflexive algebra when this is equality. Every finite dimensional algebra is isomorphic to a reflexive one ([4]) and these reflexive algebras have been studied by Azoff [1], Barker and Conklin [3] and Habibi and Gustafson [9] among others.
