Combinatorics of Nilpotents in Symmetric Inverse Semigroups

Abstract: We show how several famous combinatorial sequences appear in the context of nilpotent elements of the full symmetric inverse semigroup I S n . These sequences appear either as cardinalities of certain nilpotent subsemigroups or as the numbers of special nilpotent elements and include the Lah numbers, the Bell numbers, the Stirling numbers of the second kind, the binomial coefficients and the Catalan numbers.

“…Note that the Bell numbers [5] are denoted, as a rule, by B k , but we use another notation to distinguish them from the Boolean. In the given case, we are interested in the maximal nilpotent subsemigroup with idempotent 0, i.e., with a nowhere-defined transformation.…”

“…Hence, the importance of I n in inverse semigroup theory is similar to the importance of S n in group theory. Although the semigroup I n has been extensively studied (see, for example, [1,5,10,14]), there are still many interesting problems concerning I n to be investigated.…”
