Let [Formula: see text] be the monoid of all orientation-preserving and extensive full transformations on [Formula: see text] ordered in the standard way. In this paper, we determine the minimum generating set and the minimum idempotent generating set of [Formula: see text], and so the rank and the idempotent rank of [Formula: see text] are obtained. Moreover, we describe maximal subsemigroups and maximal idempotent generated subsemigroups of [Formula: see text] and completely obtain their classifications.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the partial transformation and the strictly partial transformation semigroups on the finite set [Formula: see text]. It is well known that the ranks of the semigroups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text], respectively. The idempotent rank, defined as the smallest number of idempotents generating set, of the semigroup [Formula: see text] has the same value as the rank. Idempotent can be seen as a special case (with [Formula: see text]) of [Formula: see text]-potent. In this paper, we determine the [Formula: see text]-potent ranks, defined as the smallest number of [Formula: see text]-potents generating set, of the semigroups [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text].

AbstractLet $\tau$ be a partition of the positive integer $n$. A partition of the set $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ is said to be of type $\tau$ if the sizes of its classes form the partition $\tau$ of $n$. It is known that the semigroup $S(\tau)$, generated by all the transformations with kernels of type $\tau$, is idempotent generated. When $\tau$ has a unique non-singleton class of size $d$, the difficult Middle Levels Conjecture of combinatorics obstructs the application of known techniques for determining the rank and idempotent rank of $S(\tau)$. We further develop existing techniques, associating with a subset $U$ of the set of all idempotents of $S(\tau)$ with kernels of type $\tau$ a directed graph $D(U)$; the directed graph $D(U)$ is strongly connected if and only if $U$ is a generating set for $S(\tau)$, a result which leads to a proof if the fact that the rank and the idempotent rank of $S(\tau)$ are both equal to$$ \max\biggl\{\binom{n}{d},\binom{n}{d+1}\biggr\}. $$AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20M20; 05A18; 05A17; 05C20

We investigate the structure of the twisted Brauer monoid , comparing and contrasting it with the structure of the (untwisted) Brauer monoid . We characterize Green's relations and pre-orders on , describe the lattice of ideals and give necessary and sufficient conditions for an ideal to be idempotent generated. We obtain formulae for the rank (smallest size of a generating set) and (where applicable) the idempotent rank (smallest size of an idempotent generating set) of each principal ideal; in particular, when an ideal is idempotent generated, its rank and idempotent rank are equal. As an application of our results, we describe the idempotent generated subsemigroup of (which is not an ideal), as well as the singular ideal of (which is neither principal nor idempotent generated), and we deduce that the singular part of the Brauer monoid is idempotent generated, a result previously proved by Maltcev and Mazorchuk.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the monoids of all (full) transformations and of all partial transformations, on a finite chain [Formula: see text] under its natural order, respectively. Moreover, let [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) be the subsemigroup of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) consists of all monotone transformations (monotone partial transformations) with height less than or equal to [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). In this paper, we develop a new and general approach to find a (minimal) generating set of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]).

SynopsisAn element α of Pn, the semigroup of all partial transformations of {1,2,…, n}, is said to have projection characteristic (r, s), or to belong to the set [r, s], if dom α= r, im α = s. Let E be the set of all idempotents in Pn\[n, n] and E1, the set of those idempotents with projection characteristic (n, n − 1) or (n − 1, n − 1). For α in Pn\[n, n], we define a number g(α), called the gravity of α and closely related to the number denned in Howie [5] for full transformations, and we obtain the result thatLet d(α) be the defect of α, and for any real number x let [x] be the least integer m such that m ≧ x. Then by analogy with the results of Saito [9] we have thatα ϵ Ek(α) and α ∉ Ek(α)where k(α) = [g(α)/d(α)] or [g(α)/d(α)+ 1. Following Howie, Lusk and McFadden [6] we then explore connections between the defect and the gravity of α. Letting K(n, r) be the subsemigroup of Pn consisting of all elements of rank r or less, we prove a result, corresponding to that of Howie and McFadden [7] for total transformations, that the idempotent rank, defined as the cardinality of a minimal generating set of idempotents, of K(n, r) is S(n + 1, r + 1), the Stirling number of the second kind.

SynopsisThe subsemigroup Singn of singular elements of the full transformation semigroup on a finite set is generated by n(n − l)/2 idempotents of defect one. In this paper we extend this result to the subsemigroup K(n, r) consisting of all elements of rank r or less. We prove that the idempotent rank, defined as the cardinality of a minimal generating set of idempotents, of K(n, r) is S(n, r), the Stirling number of the second kind.

We construct the inverse partition semigroup[Formula: see text], isomorphic to the dual symmetric inverse monoid[Formula: see text], introduced in [6]. We give a convenient geometric illustration for elements of [Formula: see text]. We describe all maximal subsemigroups of [Formula: see text] and find a generating set for [Formula: see text] when X is finite. We prove that all the automorphisms of [Formula: see text] are inner. We show how to embed the symmetric inverse semigroup into the inverse partition one. For finite sets X, we establish that, up to equivalence, there is a unique faithful effective transitive representation of [Formula: see text], namely to [Formula: see text]. Finally, we construct an interesting [Formula: see text]-cross-section of [Formula: see text], which is reminiscent of [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text]-cross-section of [Formula: see text], constructed in [4].

We study the singular part of the partition monoid [Formula: see text]; that is, the ideal [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the symmetric group. Our main results are presentations in terms of generators and relations. We also show that [Formula: see text] is idempotent generated, and that its rank and idempotent-rank are both equal to [Formula: see text]. One of our presentations uses an idempotent generating set of this minimal cardinality.
