The Endomorphism Semiring of a Semilattice

Semiring and semimodule issues in MV-algebras

In this paper we propose a semiring-theoretic approach to MV-algebras based on the connection between such algebras and idempotent semirings established in [11] and improved in [4] — such an approach naturally imposing the introduction and study of a suitable corresponding class of semimodules, called MV-semimodules. Besides some basic yet fundamental results of more general interest for semiri...

The Semiring of 1-preserving Endomorphisms of a Semilattice

We prove that the semirings of 1-preserving and of 0,1preserving endomorphisms of a semilattice are always subdirectly irreducible and we investigate under which conditions they are simple. Subsemirings are also investigated in a similar way.

Quantum Racah Coefficients and Subrepresentation Semirings

Let G be a group and A a G-algebra. The subrepresentation semiring of A is the set of subrepresentations of A endowed with operations induced by the algebra operations. The introduction of these semirings was motivated by a problem in material science. Typically, physical properties of composite materials are strongly dependent on microstructure. However, in exceptional situations, exact relati...

1 4 Fe b 20 07 Classification of finite congruence - simple semirings with zero

Our main result states that a finite semiring of order > 2 with zero which is not a ring is congruence-simple if and only if it is isomorphic to a ‘dense’ subsemiring of the endomorphism semiring of a finite idempotent commutative monoid. We also investigate those subsemirings further, addressing e.g. the question of isomorphy.
