Abstract

A semigroup SS is called a weakly exponential semigroup if, for every couple (a,b)S×S(a,b)\in S\times S and every positive integer nn, there is a non-negative integer mm such that (ab)n+m=anbn(ab)m=(ab)manbn(ab)^{n+m}=a^nb^n(ab)^m=(ab)^ma^nb^n. A semigroup SS is called a Δ\Delta-semigroup if the lattice of all congruences of SS is a chain with respect to inclusion. The weakly exponential Δ\Delta-semigroups were described in [5]: A. Nagy, Weakly exponential Δ\Delta-semigroups, Semigroup Forum, 40(1990), 297-313. Although the existence of two types of them (T2R and T2L semigroups) is an open question, Theorem 3.11 of [5] gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a semigroup to be a T2R [T2L] semigroup. In our present paper we give a little correction of condition (v) of Theorem 3.11 of [5], and prove some new results which are addendum to the problem: Doest there exist a T2R [T2L] semigroup?
