in this paper we study the notions of cogenerator and subdirectlyirreducible in the category of s-poset. first we give somenecessary and sufficient conditions for a cogenerator $s$-posets.then we see that under some conditions, regular injectivityimplies generator and cogenerator. recalling birkhoff'srepresentation theorem for algebra, we study subdirectlyirreducible s-posets and give this theo...

We prove that the family of retracts of a free monoid generated by three elements, partially ordered with respect to the inclusion, is a complete lattice.

This paper concerns residuated lattice-ordered idempotent commutative monoids that are subdirect products of chains. An algebra of this kind is a generalized Sugihara monoid (GSM) if it is generated by the lower bounds of the monoid identity; it is a Sugihara monoid if it has a compatible involution ¬. Our main theorem establishes a category equivalence between GSMs and relative Stone algebras ...

A hoop is a naturally ordered pocrim (i.e., a partially ordered com-mutative residuated integral monoid). We list some basic properties of hoops, describe in detail the structure of subdirectly irreducible hoops, and establish that the class of hoops, which is a variety, is generated, as a quasivariety, by its nite members.

In this paper, we first consider n × n upper-triangular matrices with entries in a given semiring k. Matrices of this form with invertible diagonal entries form a monoid Bn(k). We show that Bn(k) splits as a semidirect product of the monoid of unitriangular matrices Un(k) by the group of diagonal matrices. When the semiring is a field, Bn(k) is actually a group and we recover a well-known resul...

We study Dedekind cuts on ordered Abelian groups. We introduce a monoid structure on them, and we characterise, via a suitable representation theorem, the universal part of the theory of such structures. MSC: 06F05; 06F20

The relative rank rank(S : U) of a subsemigroup U of a semigroup S is the minimum size of a set V ⊆ S such that U together with V generates the whole of S. As a consequence of a result by Sierpiński it follows that for U ≤ TX , the monoid of all self-maps of an infinite set X, rank(TX : U) is either 0, 1, 2 or uncountable. In this paper we consider the relative ranks rank(TX : OX), where X is a...
