The semigroup $B_0$ is the only, up to isomorphism, 4-element subsemigroup of the 5-element Brandt semigroup $B_2$. Being an inverse semigroup, the semigroup $B_2$ can naturally be considered an additively idempotent semiring and $B_0$ is…
The 5-element Brandt semigroup $B_2$ admits the structure of a naturally semilattice-ordered inverse semigroup, thus becoming an additively idempotent semiring with the operation of taking greatest lower bounds as the semiring addition. For…
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 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…
We first establish a sufficient condition for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based. As applications, we exhibit several examples of additively idempotent semirings satisfying this condition, including a $4$-element…
Commutative semirings with divisible additive semigroup are studied. We show that an additively divisible commutative semiring is idempotent, provided that it is finitely generated and torsion. In case that a one-generated additively…
The authors [3] proved that the endomorphism semiring of a nontrivial semilattice is always subdirectly irreducible and described its monolith. Here we prove that the endomorphism semiring of a commutative inverse semigroup with at least…
A semiring generalises the notion of a ring, replacing the additive abelian group structure with that of a commutative monoid. In this paper, we study a notion positioned between a ring and a semiring -- a semiring whose additive monoid is…
The set of all subsets of any inverse semigroup forms an involution semiring under set-theoretical union and element-wise multiplication and inversion. We find structural conditions on a finite inverse semigroup guaranteeing that neither…
We introduce the inverse monoid of inner partial automorphisms of a semigroup -- a tool that associates to every semigroup an inverse semigroup. When the semigroup is a group, this inverse semigroup is isomorphic to the group of inner…
Since for the classification of finite (congruence-)simple semirings it remains to classify the additively idempotent semirings, we progress on the characterization of finite simple additively idempotent semirings as semirings of…
We prove that a semiring multiplicatively generated by its idempotents is commutative and Boolean, if every idempotent in the semiring has an orthogonal complement. We prove that a semiring additively generated by its idempotents is…
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.…
We prove that a commutative parasemifield S is additively idempotent provided that it is finitely generated as a semiring. Consequently, every proper commutative semifield T that is finitely generated as a semiring is either additively…
Let $P$ be a finitely generated commutative semiring. It was shown recently that if $P$ is a parasemifield (i.e. the multiplicative reduct of $P$ is a group) then $P$ cannot contain the positive rationals $\mathbb{Q}^+$ as its subsemiring.…
For every group $G$, the set $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of its subsets forms a semiring under set-theoretical union $\cup$ and element-wise multiplication $\cdot$ and forms an involution semigroup under $\cdot$ and element-wise inversion ${}^{-1}$.…
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 investigate endomorphism semirings of a finite semilattice with one least element and one greatest element such that all the other elements form an antichain. We construct some new finite simple semirings. Keywords: endomorphism…
We exhibit a 6-element semigroup that has no finite identity basis but nevertheless generates a variety whose finite membership problem admits a polynomial algorithm.
In this paper, we investigate zero-divisor, nilpotent, idempotent, unit, small, and irreducible elements in semiring extensions such as amount, content, and monoid semialgebras. We also introduce new concepts such as the prime avoidance…
