A pretorsion theory for right groups

Category Theory 2026-03-26 v1

Abstract

Let SS be a right group. Then there exist two congruences \sim and \equiv on SS such that SS is the product of its quotient semigroups S/S/{\sim} and S/S/{\equiv}, where S/S/{\sim} is a group and S/S/{\equiv} is a right zero semigroup. If EE is the set of all idempotents of SS and we fix an element e0Ee_0\in E, then the pointed right group (S,e0)(S,e_0) is the coproduct of its pointed subsemigroups (Se0,e0)(Se_0,e_0) and (E,e0)(E,e_0) in the category of pointed right groups. In general, there is a pretorsion theory in the category of right groups in which the torsion objects are right zero semigroups and the torsion-free objects are groups.
