Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove the \v{C}ern\'y conjecture and the rank conjecture for \v{C}ern\'y type automata and monoids. A transformation monoid is said to be \v{C}ern\'y type if it is generated by a simple idempotent and a regular group of permutations. We prove \v{C}ern\'y conjecture for the \v{C}ern\'y type synchronizing automata and the rank conjecture for the \v{C}ern\'y type transformation monoids. In particular, we obtain the tight bound for the reset threshold of \v{C}ern\'y type synchronizing monoids.
