On the quasivarieties generated by finite semigroups.
A category is called -determined if every set of non-isomorphic -objects such that their endomorphism monoids are isomorphic has a cardinality less than . A quasivariety is called -universal if the lattice of all subquasivarieties of any quasivariety of finite type is a homomorphic image of a sublattice of the lattice of all subquasivarieties of . We say that a variety is var-relatively alg-universal if there exists a proper subvariety of such that homomorphisms of whose image does...
In this paper, we give some new characterizations of orthodox semigroups in terms of the set of inverses of idempotents. As a generalization, a new class of regular semigroups, namely Vn-semigroups, is introduced. Also, we give a characterization of Vn-semigroups and investigate some properties of Vn-semigroups. Furthermore, we show that the class of Vn-semigroups is closed under direct products and homomorphic images. However, regular subsemigroups of Vn-semigroups (n ≥ 2) are not necessarily Vn-semigroups...
