Reducibility of pointlike problems
2015
Semigroup Forum
We show that the pointlike and the idempotent pointlike problems are reducible with respect to natural signatures in the following cases: the pseudovariety of all finite semigroups in which the order of ...
Allowing only trivial groups, we obtain omega-reducibility of the pointlike and idempotent pointlike problems, respectively for the pseudovarieties of all finite aperiodic semigroups (A) and of all finite ...
Hence V is σ-reducible for idempotent pointlike sets. Corollary 4.4. ...

Pointlike sets with respect to R and J
2008
Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra
We also give an algorithm to compute J-pointlike sets, where J denotes the pseudovariety of all finite J-trivial semigroups. ...
We finally show that, in contrast with the situation for R, the natural adaptation of Henckell's algorithm to J computes pointlike sets, but not all of them. ...
Henckell presented algorithms for computing A-pointlike sets [17] and A-idempotent pointlike sets [18] for the pseudovariety A of aperiodic semigroups. ...

COMPLEXITY PSEUDOVARIETIES ARE NOT LOCAL: TYPE II SUBSEMIGROUPS CAN FALL ARBITRARILY IN COMPLEXITY
2006
International journal of algebra and computation
Since H is V-idempotent pointlike, there is an idempotent e of T with H ≤ e ϕ −1 2 . Let q ∈ xϕ. Then xH ⊆ q ϕ −1 1 H ⊆ (q e )ϕ −1 1 . Setting q = q e completes the proof. ...
Since H is a group and is V-pointlike, our above observations show that H is in fact V-idempotent pointlike. Set x = (a 0 , 1, 0 ), y = (a 0 , 1, 2 ). Notice that xH = yH = {x, y}. ...

In the 1970s, Henckell and Rhodes introduced the notion of a pointlike set: For a pseudovariety V of monoids, a subset Y of a finite monoid S is said to be V-pointlike if for every relational morphism ...
In order to prove his result, the author first generalizes the notion of pointlike sets to categories, studying how pointlikes for V and gV (the pseudovariety of categories generated by monoids in V viewed ...
A Profinite Approach to Stable Pairs

We give a short proof, using profinite techniques, that idempotent pointlikes, stable pairs and triples are decidable for the pseudovariety of aperiodic monoids. ...
Then the maximal V-idempotent pointlikes of M are precisely the maximal idempotents of PL V (M ).Proof. We already observed that idempotents of PL V (M ) are V-idempotent pointlike. ...
Also the set of V-idempotent pointlikes of M form a downwards closed subset of P (M ). Next we consider the notion of a V-stable pair. ...

An application of a Theorem of Ash to finite covers

We show how the existence of nite proper covers for semigroups in this quasivariety is a consequence of Ash's celebrated theorem for pointlike sets. Date: November 7, 2001. ...

We begin with the well known characterisation of pointlike sets (see Theorem 1.2 of 8]) which is a consequence of Ash's theorem (Theorem 2.1 in 1]) and the fact that in a semigroup in which the idempotents ...

arXiv

We show that pointlike sets are decidable for the pseudovariety of finite semigroups whose idempotent-generated subsemigroup is R-trivial. ...
Notably, our proof is constructive: we provide an explicit relational morphism which computes the ER-pointlike subsets of a given finite semigroup. ...
General theory of pointlike sets 4.1. In this section we will briefly cover key aspects of the authors' "general theory of pointlike sets" which provides the framework for our work here. ...

We establish a connection between pointlike reducibility of V* D and the pointlike reducibility of the pseudovariety V. ...
In particular, for the canonical signature κ consisting of the multiplication and the (ω-1)-power, we show that V* D is pointlike κ-reducible when V is pointlike κ-reducible. ...
One says that V has decidable pointlikes if one can effectively compute all the V-pointlike sets of any given finite semigroup. ...

Abstract: We compute a set of identities defining the Mal'cev product of pseudovarieties of finite semigroups or finite ordered semigroups. ...
Moreover, we verify that a subset X of a finite semigroup S is a V-pointlike if and only if it is a V -pointlike. Suppose indeed that X is a V -pointlike subset. ...
