Abstract

In this paper we extend to left skew trusses (T,+,,σ)(T,+,\circ,\sigma) previous work on left skew rings. We had presented a left skew ring as a group (N,+)(N,+) with two binary operations \circ and \cdot with \circ associative, \cdot left distributive over the addition ++ of the group, and such that the difference of the two operations \circ and \cdot is the binary operation π1 ⁣:N×NN\pi_1\colon N\times N\to N. Here we extend this idea to the left skew trusses introduced in 2019 by Brzezi\'nski, replacing the operation π1\pi_1 with the binary operation σπ1 ⁣:T×TT\sigma\pi_1\colon T\times T\to T. The case where the semigroup morphism λT ⁣:T\End\Gp(T,+)\lambda^T\colon T\to \End_\Gp(T,+) is constant turns out to be particular interesting. We get several canonical category isomorphisms. For instance, we get a category isomorphism between the category of all left skew trusses (T,+,,σ)(T,+,\circ,\sigma) with λT ⁣:(T,)\End\Gp(T,+)\lambda^T\colon (T,\circ)\to \End_\Gp(T,+) a constant semigroup morphism and σ,λ0T\sigma,\lambda^T_0 image-commuting idempotent endomorphisms and the category of all associative interchange near-rings. Interchange near-rings were introduced by Edmunds in 2016. When σ\sigma is an idempotent group endomorphism of the group (T,+)(T,+) and λT ⁣:(T,)\End\Gp(T,+)\lambda^T\colon (T,\circ)\to \End_\Gp(T,+) is a semigroup morphism constantly equal to a group endomorphism τ\tau, we also get a sort of duality exchanging the mappings σ\sigma and τ\tau.
