Green’s Relations on a Semigroup of Transformations with Restricted Range that Preserves an Equivalence Relation and a Cross-Section

Abstract

Let T(X,Y) be the semigroup consisting of all total transformations from X into a fixed nonempty subset Y of X. For an equivalence relation ρ on X, let ρ^ be the restriction of ρ on Y, R a cross-section of Y/ρ^ and define T(X,Y,ρ,R) to be the set of all total transformations α from X into Y such that α preserves both ρ (if (a,b)∈ρ, then (aα,bα)∈ρ) and R (if r∈R, then rα∈R). T(X,Y,ρ,R) is then a subsemigroup of T(X,Y). In this paper, we give descriptions of Green’s relations on T(X,Y,ρ,R), and these results extend the results on T(X,Y) and T(X,ρ,R) when taking ρ to be the identity relation and Y=X, respectively.
