A limit variety is a variety that is minimal with respect to being non-finitely based. We present a new limit variety of aperiodic monoid. We also show that if there exists any other limit variety of aperiodic monoids, then it is contained…
A variety is finitely universal if its lattice of subvarieties contains an isomorphic copy of every finite lattice. We show that the 6-element Brandt monoid generates a finitely universal variety of monoids and, by the previous results, it…
Finite monoids that generate monoid varieties with uncountably many subvarieties seem rare, and surprisingly, no finite monoid is known to generate a monoid variety with countably infinitely many subvarieties. In the present article, it is…
A variety of algebras is called limit if it is non-finitely based but all its proper subvarieties are finitely based. We present a new pair of limit varieties of monoids and show that together with the five limit varieties of monoids…
A limit variety is a variety that is minimal with respect to being non-finitely based. The two limit varieties of Marcel Jackson are the only known examples of limit varieties of aperiodic monoids. Our previous work had shown that there…
A limit variety is a variety that is minimal with respect to being non-finitely based. Since the turn of the millennium, much attention has been given to the classification of limit varieties of aperiodic monoids. Seven explicit examples…
A variety of universal algebras is called limit if it is non-finitely based but all its proper subvarieties are finitely based. Until recently, only two explicit examples of limit varieties of monoids, constructed by Jackson, were known.…
We show that limit varieties of monoids recently discovered by Gusev, Zhang and Luo and their subvarieties are generated by monoids of the form $M_\tau(W)$ for certain congruences $\tau$ on the free monoid. The construction $M_\tau(W)$ is a…
We study the equational theories and bases of meets and joins of several varieties of plactic-like monoids. Using those results, we construct sublattices of the lattice of varieties of monoids, generated by said varieties. We calculate the…
We establish a new sufficient condition under which a monoid is non-finitely based and apply this condition to Lee monoids $L_\ell^1$, obtained by adjoining an identity element to the semigroup generated by two idempotents $a$ and $b$…
A variety is finitely universal if its lattice of subvarieties contains an isomorphic copy of every finite lattice. Examples of finitely universal varieties of semigroups have been available since the early 1970s, but it is unknown if there…
We exhibit a faithful representation of the stylic monoid of every finite rank as a monoid of upper unitriangular matrices over the tropical semiring. Thus, we show that the stylic monoid of finite rank $n$ generates the pseudovariety…
The present paper is a continuation of \cite{jrz} and is devoted to the study of limit varieties of additively idempotent semirings. A limit variety is a nonfinitely based variety whose proper subvarieties are all finitely based. We present…
Let M be a commutative monoid. We provide an explicit first-order formular that defines the variety generated by M in the lattice of commutative semigroup varieties.
The sets of all neutral, distributive and lower-modular elements of the lattice of semigroup varieties are finite, countably infinite and uncountably infinite, respectively. In 2018, we established that there are precisely three neutral…
We establish a sufficient condition for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based. Applying this condition, we prove that the six-element additively idempotent semiring $SR_6$ has no finite basis for its identity.…
A finitely based, finitely generated variety with finitely many subvarieties is a Cross variety. In the present article, it is shown that a variety of $J$-trivial monoids is Cross if and only if it excludes as subvarieties a certain list of…
Classes of algebraic structures that are defined by equational laws are called varieties or equational classes. A variety is finitely generated if it is defined by the laws that hold in some fixed finite algebra. We show that every…
An algebra that generates a variety with uncountably many subvarieties is said to be of type $2^{\aleph_0}$. We show that the Rees quotient monoid $M(aabb)$ of order ten is of type $2^{\aleph_0}$, thereby affirmatively answering a recent…
The variety generated by the Brandt semigroup ${\bf B}_2$ can be defined within the variety generated by the semigroup ${\bf A}_2$ by the single identity $x^2y^2\approx y^2x^2$. Edmond Lee asked whether or not the same is true for the…
