We completely classify all standard elements in the lattice of all monoid varieties. In particular, we prove that an element of this lattice is standard if and only if it is neutral.
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…
The set of all cancellable elements of the lattice of semigroup varieties has recently been shown to be countably infinite. But the description of all cancellable elements of the lattice $\mathbb{MON}$ of monoid varieties remains unknown.…

A monoid is aperiodic if all its subgroups are trivial. We completely classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids whose subvariety lattice is distributive.
The paper contains three main results. First, we show that if a commutative semigroup variety is a modular element of the lattice Com of all commutative semigroup varieties then it is either the variety COM of all commutative semigroups or…

It is unknown so far, whether the lattice of all varieties of monoids satisfies some non-trivial identity. The objective of this note is to give the negative answer to this question. Namely, we prove that any finite lattice is a homomorphic…
Dedekind stated and proved the well-known fact that a lattice is modular if and only if it does not contain a pentagon as a sublattice. In this paper we consider a similar result in the literature for the case of certain class of modular…
We completely classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids with central idempotents whose subvariety lattice is distributive.
Let $M$ be a cancellative and commutative monoid (written additively). The monoid $M$ is atomic if every non-invertible element can be written as a sum of irreducible elements (often called atoms in the literature). Weaker versions of…
We survey results concerning special elements of nine types (modular, lower-modular, upper-modular, cancellable, distributive, codistributive, standard, costandard and neutral elements) in the lattice of all semigroup varieties and certain…
Left-modularity is a concept that generalizes modularity in lattice theory. In this paper, we give a characterization of left-modular elements and derive two formulae for the characteristic polynomial of a lattice with such an element, one…

We completely determine all varieties of monoids on whose free objects all fully invariant congruences or all fully invariant congruences contained in the least semilattice congruence permute. Along the way, we find several new monoid…

We completely determine all commutative semigroup varieties that are cancellable elements of the lattice SEM of all semigroup varieties. In particular, we prove that, for commutative varieties, the properties of being cancellable and…
