Natural definition of entropy of semigroups
On any involuted semigroup , define the ternary operation for all . The resulting ternary algebra satisfies the para-associativity law , which defines the variety of semiheaps. Important subvarieties include generalised heaps, which arise from inverse semigroups, and heaps, which arise from groups. We consider the intermediate variety of near heaps, defined by the additional laws and . Every Clifford semigroup is a near heap when viewed as a semiheap, and we show that the Clifford semigroup...
A semiring S is said to be a quasi completely regular semiring if for any a ∈ S there exists a positive integer n such that na is completely regular. The present paper is devoted to the study of completely Archimedean semirings. We show that a semiring S is a completely Archimedean semiring if and only if it is a nil-extension of a completely simple semiring. This result extends the crucial structure theorem of completely Archimedean semigroup.
