Idempotent rank in endomorphism monoids of finite independence algebras

Author(s):

In 1992, Fountain and Lewin showed that any proper ideal of an endomorphism monoid of a finite independence algebra is generated by idempotents. Here the ranks and idempotent ranks of these ideals are determined. In particular, it is shown that when the algebra has dimension greater than or equal to three the idempotent rank equals the rank.

We calculate the rank and idempotent rank of the semigroup ${\mathcal{E}}(X,{\mathcal{P}})$ generated by the idempotents of the semigroup ${\mathcal{T}}(X,{\mathcal{P}})$ which consists of all transformations of the finite set $X$ preserving a nonuniform partition ${\mathcal{P}}$. We also classify and enumerate the idempotent generating sets of minimal possible size. This extends results of the first two authors in the uniform case.

AbstractWe devise a fairly general sufficient condition ensuring that the endomorphism monoid of a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous structure (i.e. a Fraïssé limit) embeds all countable semigroups. This approach not only provides us with a framework unifying the previous scattered results in this vein, but actually yields new applications for endomorphism monoids of the (rational) Urysohn space and the countable universal ultrahomogeneous semilattice.

The motivation of this paper comes from an open question: which graphs have regular endomorphism monoids? In this paper, we give a definitely answer for unicyclic graphs, proving that a unicyclic graph [Formula: see text] is End-regular if and only if, either [Formula: see text] is an even cycle with 4, 6 or 8 vertices, or [Formula: see text] contains an odd cycle [Formula: see text] such that the distance of any vertex to [Formula: see text] is at most 1, i.e., [Formula: see text]. The join of two unicyclic graphs with a regular endomorphism monoid is explicitly described.

AbstractIn 1990, Howie and McFadden showed that every proper two-sided ideal of the full transformation monoid $T_n$, the set of all maps from an $n$-set to itself under composition, has a generating set, consisting of idempotents, that is no larger than any other generating set. This fact is a direct consequence of the same property holding in an associated finite $0$-simple semigroup. We show a correspondence between finite $0$-simple semigroups that have this property and bipartite graphs that satisfy a condition that is similar to, but slightly stronger than, Hall's condition. The results are applied in order to recover the above result for the full transformation monoid and to prove the analogous result for the proper two-sided ideals of the monoid of endomorphisms of a finite vector space.

AbstractBased on an idea of Y. Péresse and some results of Maltcev, Mitchell and Ruškuc, we present sufficient conditions under which the endomorphism monoid of a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous first-order structure has the Bergman property. This property has played a prominent role both in the theory of infinite permutation groups and, more recently, in semigroup theory. As a byproduct of our considerations, we establish a criterion for a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous structure to be homomorphism-homogeneous.

Let V be a non-trivial variety of bounded distributive lattices with a quantifier, as introduced by Cignoli in [7]. It is shown that if V does not contain the 4-element bounded Boolean lattice with a simple quantifier, then V contains non-isomorphic algebras with isomorphic endomorphism monoids, but there are always at most two such algebras. Further, it is shown that if V contains the 4-element bounded Boolean lattice with a simple quantifier, then it is finite-to-finite universal (in the categorical sense) and, as a consequence, for any monoid M, there exists a proper class of non-isomorphic algebras in V for which the endomorphism monoid of every member is isomorphic to M.

By a result of K.B. Lee, the lattice of varieties of pseudo-complemented distributive lattices is the ω + 1 chainwhere B−1, B0, B1 are the varieties formed by all trivial, Boolean, and Stone algebras, respectively. General theorems on relative universality proved in the present paper imply that there is a proper class of non-isomorphic algebras in B3 with finite endomorphism monoids, while every infinite algebra from B2 has infinitely many endomorphisms. The variety B4 contains a proper class of non-isomorphic algebras with endomorphism monoids consisting of the identity and finitely many right zeros; on the other hand, any algebra in B3 with a finite endomorphism monoid of this type must be finite.

This paper studies endomorphism monoids of Kleene algebras. The main result is that these algebras form an almost universal variety k, from which it follows that for a given monoid M there is a proper class of non-isomorphic Kleene algebras with endomorphism monoid M+ (where M+ denotes the extension of M by a single element that is a right zero in M+). Kleene algebras form a subvariety of de Morgan algebras containing Boolean algebras. Previously it has been shown the latter are uniquely determined by their endomorphisms, while the former constitute a universal variety, containing, in particular, arbitrarily large finite rigid algebras. Non-trivial algebras in K always have non-trivial endomorphisms (so that universality of K is ruled out) and unlike the situation for de Morgan algebras the size of End(L) for a finite Kleene algebra L necessarily increases as |L| does. The paper concludes with results on endomorphism monoids of algebras in subvarieties of the variety of MS-algebras.

An endomorphism monoid of an algebra [Formula: see text] is said to be a band if every endomorphism on [Formula: see text] is an idempotent, and it is said to be a demi-band if every non-injective endomorphism on [Formula: see text] is an idempotent. We precisely determine finite Kleene algebras whose endomorphism monoids are demi-bands and bands via Priestley duality.

Let r be a given prime. Then a monoid M is the endomorphism monoid of a field of characteristic r if and only if either M is a finite cyclic group or M is a right cancellative monoid and M has an element of infinite order in its centre. The main lemma is the technical base of the present and other papers.
