The rank of the endomorphism monoid of a uniform partition

Abstract: The rank of a semigroup is the cardinality of a smallest generating set. In this paper we compute the rank of the endomorphism monoid of a non-trivial uniform partition of a finite set, that is, the semigroup of those transformations of a finite set that leave a non-trivial uniform partition invariant. That involves proving that the rank of a wreath product of two symmetric groups is two and then use the fact that the endomorphism monoid of a partition is isomorphic to a wreath product of two full transformati… Show more

“…These monoids were introduced by Pei in [67], and have subsequently been studied by a number of different authors. In particular, the rank of T (X, P) was calculated in [5], while the rank and idempotent rank of the idempotent-generated subsemigroup of T (X, P) were calculated in [16]; for the corresponding studies of the non-uniform case, see [4,17]. As noted in [5], T (X, P) is isomorphic to the wreath product T m ≀ T n .…”

“…is the action of S α of permuting the coordinates of C α . For a more detailed description of the wreath product see [1]. The Rank function on monoids does not behave well when taking submonoids or subgroups: in other words, if N is a submonoid of M , there may be no relation between Rank(N ) and Rank(M ).…”
