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 show that the additively idempotent semiring $S_7^0$ has no finite basis for its equational theory. This answers an open problem posed by Jackson et al. (J. Algebra 611 (2022), 211--245).
A semiring can be ``completed'' (i.e., embedded into a semiring in which all infinite sums are defined and satisfy some reasonable properties) iff this semiring can be naturally partially ordered. This construction is ``natural'' (a left…
Let the finite distributive lattice $D$ be isomorphic to the congruence lattice of a finite lattice $L$. Let $Q$ denote those elements of $D$ that correspond to principal congruences under this isomorphism. Then $Q$ contains $0,1 \in D$ and…
Suppose that M is an infinite structure with finite relational vocabulary such that every relation symbol has arity at most 2. If M is simple and homogeneous then its complete theory is supersimple with finite SU-rank which cannot exceed…
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…
In this paper, among other results, there are described (complete) simple - simultaneously ideal- and congruence-simple - endomorphism semirings of (complete) idempotent commutative monoids; it is shown that the concepts of simpleness,…
We investigate ideal-semisimple and congruence-semisimple semirings. We give several new characterizations of such semirings using e-projective and e-injective semimodules. We extend several characterizations of semisimple rings to (not…
Idempotents yield much insight in the structure of finite semigroups and semirings. In this article, we obtain some results on (multiplicatively) idempotents of the endomorphism semiring of a finite chain. We prove that the set of all…
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…
A Hausdorff topological semiring is called simple if every non-zero continuous homomorphism into another Hausdorff topological semiring is injective. Classical work by Anzai and Kaplansky implies that any simple compact ring is finite. We…
An element e of an ordered semigroup $(S,\cdot,\leq)$ is called an ordered idempotent if $e\leq e^2$. We call an ordered semigroup $S$ idempotent ordered semigroup if every element of $S$ is an ordered idempotent. Every idempotent semigroup…
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…
Given a multiplicative subset $S$ in a commutative ring $R$, we consider $S$-weakly cotorsion and $S$-strongly flat $R$-modules, and show that all $R$-modules have $S$-strongly flat covers if and only if all flat $R$-modules are…
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…
Let R be a semiring. We say that a non-zero subsemimodule S of an R-semimodule M is second if for each a \in R, we have aS = S or aS = 0. The aim of this paper is to study the notion of second subsemimodules of semimodules over commutative…
We investigate the relationship between coseparable and semisimple corings. In particular we prove that a coring over a separable algebra is coseparable if and only if it is absolutely semisimple.
For every semilattice $\mathcal{S}=(S,+)$, the set $\mathrm{End}(\mathcal{S})$ of its endomorphisms forms a semiring under point-wise addition and composition. We prove that the semiring of all endomorphisms of the 3-element chain has no…
We prove that the variety V of commutative multiplicatively idempotent semirings satisfying x + y + xyz = x + y is generated by single semirings. Moreover, we describe a normal form system for terms in V and we show that the word problem in…
