How much semigroup structure is needed to encode graphs ?
According to S. Krstić, there are only four quadratic varieties which are closed under isotopy. We give a simple procedure generating quadratic identities and deciding which of the four varieties they define. There are about 37000 such identities with up to five variables.
We prove that the pseudovariety of monoids of Krohn-Rhodes complexity at most is not finitely based for all . More specifically, for each pair of positive integers , we construct a monoid of complexity , all of whose -generated submonoids have complexity at most .
We prove that the pseudovariety of monoids of Krohn-Rhodes complexity at most n is not finitely based for all n>0. More specifically, for each pair of positive integers n,k, we construct a monoid of complexity n+1, all of whose k-generated submonoids have complexity at most n.
There are investigated classes of finite bands such that their subsemigroup lattices satisfy certain lattice-theoretical properties which are related with the cardinalities of the Green’s classes of the considered bands, too. Mainly, there are given disjunctions of equations which define the classes of finite bands.
