The greatest Archimedean ideal in a semigroup
We study the structure of the ideals of the semigroup of all isotone (order-preserving) partial injections as well as of the semigroup of all monotone (order-preserving or order-reversing) partial injections on an n-element set. The main result is the characterization of the maximal subsemigroups of the ideals of and .
The concept of Γ-semigroups is a generalization of semigroups. In this paper, we associate two transformation semigroups to a Γ-semigroup and we call them the left and right transformation semigroups. We prove some relationships between the ideals of a Γ-semigroup and the ideals of its left and right transformation semigroups. Finally, we study some relationships between Green's equivalence relations of a Γ-semigroup and its left (right) transformation semigroup.
