Idempotent D-cross-sections of the finite inverse
symmetric semigroup ISn
Vasyl Pyekhtyeryev
Communicated by V. V. Kirichenko
Abstract. We prove that every finite poset can be embedded
in some idempotent D-cross-section of the finite inverse symmetric
semigroup ISn.
The symmetric group Sn is a central object of study in many branches
of mathematics. There exist several "natural" analogues (or generaliza-
tions) of Sn in semigroup theory. The most classical ones are the sym-
metric semigroup Tn and the inverse symmetric semigroup ISn. They
arise when one tries to generalize Cayley’s Theorem to the classes of all
semigroups or all inverse semigroups respectively. A less obvious semi-
group generalizations of Sn is the so-called Brauer semigroup Bn, which
appears in the context of centralizer algebras in representation theory,
see [1].
Let n be a positive integer. Let us put N = {1, . . . , n} and N ′ =
{1′, . . . , n′}. The elements of the Brauer semigroup Bn are all possible
partitions of the set N ∪ N ′ into two-element blocks. Consider the map
′ : N → N ′ as a fixed bijection and denote the inverse bijection by the
same symbol, i. e. (a′)′ = a for all a ∈ N . For α ∈ Bn and two different
elements a, b ∈ N ∪ N ′ we set a ≡α b provided that {a, b} ∈ α. In other
words, ≡α is the equivalence relation corresponding to the partition α.
Let α = X1 ∪ . . . ∪ Xn and β = Y1 ∪ . . . ∪ Yn be two elements from Bn.
Let us define a new equivalence relation, ≡, on N ∪ N ′ as follows:

• for a, b ∈ N we have a ≡ b if and only if a ≡α b or there is a
sequence, c1, . . . , c2s, s ≥ 1, of elements of N such that a ≡α c′1,
c1 ≡β c2, c′2 ≡α c′3, . . . , c2s−1 ≡β c2s and c′2s ≡α b.
• for a, b ∈ N we have a′ ≡ b′ if and only if a′ ≡β b′ or there is a
sequence, c1, . . . , c2s, s ≥ 1, of elements of N such that a′ ≡β c1,
c′1 ≡α c′2, c2 ≡β c3, . . . , c′2s−1 ≡α c′2s and c2s ≡β b′.
• for a, b ∈ N we have a ≡ b′ if and only if b′ ≡ a if and only if
there is a sequence, c1, . . . , c2s−1, s ≥ 1, of elements of N such that
a ≡α c′1, c1 ≡β c2, c′2 ≡α c′3, . . . , c′2s−2 ≡α c′2s−1 and c2s ≡β b′.
It is easy to see that ≡ determines a partition of N ∪N ′ into two-element
subsets and so belongs to Bn. We define this element to be the product
αβ.
Thus, the study of the structure of these semigroups is a natural
problem to investigation.
Let ρ be an equivalence relation on a semigroup S. A subsemigroup
T ⊂ S is called a cross-section with respect to ρ if T contains exactly
one element from every equivalence class. Clearly, the most interesting
are the cross-sections with respect to the equivalence relations connected
with the semigroup structure on S. The first candidates for such relations
are congruences and the Green’s relations, which are important tools in
the description and decomposition of semigroups.
For any a ∈ S we denote by L(a) (R(a), J(a)) the principal left (right,
two-sided) ideal generated by a respectively. The Green’s relations L, R,
H, D and J on semigroup S are defined as binary relations in the following
way: aLb if and only if L(a) = L(b); aRb if and only if R(a) = R(b); aJ b
if and only if J(a) = J(b) for any a, b ∈ S and the relation H = L ∩ R,
while the relation D = L ∨ R, where the join is in the lattice of all
equivalences on S, that is D is the least equivalence containing both L
and R.
Cross-sections with respect to congruences are called retracts. They
are important in study of semigroup endomorphisms.
Cross-sections with respect to the H- (L-, R-, D-, J -) Green’s rela-
tions are called H- (L-, R-, D-, J -) cross-sections in the sequel.
During the last decade cross-sections of Green’s relations for some
classical semigroups were studied by different authors. In particular, for
the inverse symmetric semigroup ISn all H-cross-sections were classified
in [2] and all L- and R-cross-sections were classified in [3]. For the infinite
inverse symmetric semigroup ISX all H-, L- and R-cross-sections were
classified in [7], and for the symmetric semigroup TX all H- and R-cross-

.86 Idempotent D−cross-sections of ISn
sections were classified in [5], [6]. The classification of H-, L- and R-
cross-sections for the Brauer semigroup Bn was obtained in [4].
The problem of classification of D-cross-sections for these semigroups
is essentially more difficult, since every D-class has large cardinality and
so the semigroups have many different D-cross-sections.
We consider idempotent D-cross-sections of the finite symmetric in-
verse semigroup ISn on the set N = {1, . . . , n}, that is cross-sections
which consist of idempotents. For the first time the problem of classifi-
cation of these cross-sections appeared in [3] and it is still open. Let us
recall that every idempotent of ISn has the form idA, where A ⊆ N and
Green’s D-classes are Dk = { a ∈ ISn | rk(a) = k}, 0 ≤ k ≤ n. Hence
one can naturally construct a partial order on the set of all idempotents of
this semigroup: idA ≤ idB if and only if A ⊆ B. Thus, one can consider
every idempotent D-cross-section of ISn as a poset.
Theorem. The boolean of a set M containing exactly n elements is iso-
morphic to a some idempotent D-cross-section of the finite symmetric
inverse semigroup IS2n−1.
Proof. Put M = {0, . . . , n − 1}. Let N be a disjoint union of sets Ni,
i = 0, . . . , n − 1, where |Ni| = 2i for every i. Then |N | = 2n − 1. Let us
define the map f : 2M → 2N by the rule
2M ∋ K 7→
⋃
i∈K
Ni ∈ 2N .
Clearly, the cardinality of the set f(K) equals the integer which binary
representation is the boolean vector of the subset K. Therefore all sets
from the image of the map f have pairwise different cardinality. More-
over, for every number l, 0 ≤ l ≤ 2n −1 there is exists a set K ∈ 2M such
that |f(K)| = l. Thus, the subset T = {idf(K) | K ∈ 2M} of the semi-
group ISN contains exactly one element from every D-class of this semi-
group. Since from equalities idA·idB = idA∩B and f(A)∩f(B) = f(A∩B)
we have that the set T is closed under multiplication. Finally, T is an
idempotent D-cross-section of ISN , which is isomorphic (as poset) to the
boolean of the set M .
Remark. The number 2n − 1 in the theorem can not be decreased, be-
cause every idempotent D-cross-section of the ISn contains exactly n+1
elements.
Corollary. Every finite poset can be embedded in some idempotent
D-cross-section of the finite symmetric inverse semigroup ISn.
