Dualisability of Finite Semigroups

We describe the inherently non-dualisable finite algebras from some semigroup related classes. The classes for which this problem is solved include the variety of bands, the pseudovariety of aperiodic monoids, commutative monoids, and (assuming a reasonable conjecture in the literature) the varieties of all finite monoids and finite inverse semigroups. The first example of an inherently non-dua...

On the Graphs Related to Green Relations of Finite Semigroups

In this paper we develop an analog of the notion of the con- jugacy graph of  nite groups for the  nite semigroups by considering the Green relations of a  nite semigroup. More precisely, by de ning the new graphs $Gamma_{L}(S)$, $Gamma_{H}(S)$, $Gamma_{J}(S)$ and $Gamma_{D}(S)$ (we name them the Green graphs) related to the Green relations L R J H and D of a  nite semigroup S , we  first atte...

Finite semigroups as categories, ordered semigroups or compact semigroups

The results presented in this section are a good illustration of the following quotation of Marshall Stone [34]: ’A cardinal principle of modern mathematical research may be stated as a maxim: “One must always topologize” ’. Varieties of finite semigroups are a good example where Stone’s principle was applied successfully. Recall that a variety of semigroups is a class of semigroups closed unde...
