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…
Jackson and Lee proved that certain six-element monoid generates a hereditarily finitely based variety $\mathbb E^1$ whose lattice of subvarieties contains an infinite ascending chain. We identify syntactic monoids which generate finitely…
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 algebras is called limit if it is non-finitely based but all its proper subvarieties are finitely based. A monoid is aperiodic if all its subgroups are trivial. We classify all limit varieties of aperiodic monoids with…
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.…
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…
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 $b$…
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…
A monoid is aperiodic if all its subgroups are trivial. We completely classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids whose subvariety lattice is distributive.
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…
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…
We completely classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids with central idempotents whose subvariety lattice is distributive.
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…
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…
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…
We completely classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids with commuting idempotents whose subvariety lattice is distributive.
We establish a new sufficient condition under which a monoid is non-finitely based and apply this condition to show that the 9-element monoid $L_4^1$ is non-finitely based. The monoid $L_4^1$ was the only unsolved case in the finite basis…
A commutative residuated lattice A is said to be subidempotent if the lower bounds of its neutral element e are idempotent (in which case they naturally constitute a Brouwerian algebra A*). It is proved here that epimorphisms are surjective…
A variety of algebras is called Cross if it is finitely based, finitely generated, and has finitely many subvarieties. In present article, we classify all Cross varieties of aperiodic monoids with commuting idempotents.
It is proved that every finitely subdirectly irreducible De Morgan monoid A (with neutral element e) is either (i) a Sugihara chain in which e covers not(e) or (ii) the union of an interval subalgebra [not(a), a] and two chains of…
