Abstract

The full-domain partition monoid PnfdP_n^{fd} has been discovered independently in two recent studies on connections between diagram monoids and category theory. It is a right restriction Ehresmann monoid, and contains both the full transformation monoid and the join semilattice of equivalence relations. In this paper we give presentations (by generators and relations) for PnfdP_n^{fd}, its singular ideal, and its planar submonoid. The latter is not an Ehresmann submonoid, but it is a so-called grrac monoid in the terminology of Branco, Gomes and Gould. In particular, its structure is determined in part by a right regular band in one-one correspondence with planar equivalences.
