In this paper, we describe finite, additively commutative, congruence simple semirings. The main result is that the only such semirings are those of order 2, zero-multiplication rings of prime order, matrix rings over finite fields, those…
We provide a complete classification of matrix semirings $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$ over two-element additively idempotent semirings $S$ with respect to the finite basis property.Our main theorem shows that for every integer $n \geq 2$,the semiring…
We characterize commutative idempotent involutive residuated lattices as disjoint unions of Boolean algebras arranged over a distributive lattice. We use this description to introduce a new construction, called gluing, that allows us to…
The tropical semifield, i.e., the real numbers enhanced by the operations of addition and maximum, serves as a base of tropical mathematics. Addition is an abelian group operation, whereas the maximum defines an idempotent semigroup…
It was proved by Oliveira and Silva (2005) that every finitely generated inverse subsemigroup of the monogenic free inverse semigroup $FI_1$ is finitely presented. The present paper continues this development, and gives generating sets and…
Let $S$ be a semiring. An $S$-semimodule $M$ is called a multiplication semimodule if for each subsemimodule $N$ of $M$ there exists an ideal $I$ of $S$ such that $N=IM$. In this paper we investigate some properties of multiplication…
We present some general results implying nonfinite axiomatisability of many additively idempotent semirings with finitely based semigroup reducts. The smallest is a $3$-element commutative example, which we show also has \texttt{NP}-hard…
Let $R$ be a commutative additively idempotent semiring. In this paper, some properties and characterizations for permanents of matrices over $R$ are established, and several inequalities for permanents are given. Also, the adjiont matrices…
In this article, we introduce the idempotentization process, which bears some philosophical and mathematical similarities with modern analytification and tropicalization. Idempotentization associates to any affine scheme an idempotent…
A finitely generated commutative monoid is uniquely presented if it has only a minimal presentation. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for finitely generated, combinatorially finite, cancellative, commutative monoids to be…
The purpose of this paper is to study the commutative pseudomeadows, the structure which is defined in the same way as commutative meadows, except that the existence of a multiplicative identity is not required. We extend the…
It is an easy observation that every residuated lattice is in fact a semiring because multiplication distributes over join and the other axioms of a semiring are satisfied trivially. This semiring is commutative, idempotent and simple. The…
We show that every finite ring has a partition, where each block corresponds to one idempotent. Remarkably, this partition provides a way to \emph{lift} a wide variety of special elements such as idempotents, nilpotents, unipotents, roots…
We investigate invertible matrices over finite additively idempotent semirings. The main result provides a criterion for the invertibility of such matrices. We also give a construction of the inverse matrix and a formula for the number of…
We consider necessary and sufficient conditions for finite generation and finite presentability for fiber products of free semigroups and free monoids. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on finite fiber quotients for a fiber…
In 1995 Grillet defined the concept of a stratified semigroup and a stratified semigroup with zero. The present authors extended that idea to include semigroups with a more general base and proved, amongst other things, that finite…
We establish two sufficient conditions for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based. As applications, we prove that two specific $4$-element additively idempotent semirings, $S_{(4,545)}$ and $S_{(4,634)}$, whose additive…
We study the Finite Basis Problem for finite additively idempotent semirings whose multiplicative reducts are inverse semigroups. In particular, we show that each additively idempotent semiring whose multiplicative reduct is a nontrivial…
We prove the following results: (1) Every group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup. (2) Every finitely presented group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup arising from a finite…
We give a direct construction of a specific idempotent in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice $T$. This idempotent is associated with all possible sublattices of $T$ which are total orders.
