On a probabilistic problem on finite semigroups

Group Theory 2023-10-17 v1

Abstract

In this paper we deal with the following problem: how does the structure of a finite semigroup SS depend on the probability that two elements selected at random from SS, with replacement, define the same inner right translation of SS. We solve a subcase of this problem. As the main result of the paper, we show how to construct not necessarily finite medial semigroups in which the index of the kernel of the right regular representation equals two.
