Finite basis problem for 2-testable monoids

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A monoid S1 obtained by adjoining a unit element to a 2-testable semigroup S is said to be 2-testable. It is shown that a 2-testable monoid S1 is either inherently non-finitely based or hereditarily finitely based, depending on whether or not the variety generated by the semigroup S contains the Brandt semigroup of order five. Consequently, it is decidable in quadratic time if a finite 2-testable monoid is finitely based. © 2011 Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Wien.
