Trusses, ditrusses, weak trusses
Abstract
In this paper we extend to left skew trusses previous work on left skew rings. We had presented a left skew ring as a group with two binary operations and with associative, left distributive over the addition of the group, and such that the difference of the two operations and is the binary operation . Here we extend this idea to the left skew trusses introduced in 2019 by Brzezi\'nski, replacing the operation with the binary operation . The case where the semigroup morphism 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 with a constant semigroup morphism and image-commuting idempotent endomorphisms and the category of all associative interchange near-rings. Interchange near-rings were introduced by Edmunds in 2016. When is an idempotent group endomorphism of the group and is a semigroup morphism constantly equal to a group endomorphism , we also get a sort of duality exchanging the mappings and .
