Homomorphisms and congruences of medial semigroups with an associate subgroup

Let S be the model of a semigroup with an associate subgroup whose identity is a medial idempotent constructed by Blyth and Martins considered as a unary semigroup. For another such semigroup T, we construct all unary homomorphisms of S into T in terms of their parameters. On S we construct all unar...

Description
Summary:Let S be the model of a semigroup with an associate subgroup whose identity is a medial idempotent constructed by Blyth and Martins considered as a unary semigroup. For another such semigroup T, we construct all unary homomorphisms of S into T in terms of their parameters. On S we construct all unary congruences again directly from its parameters. This construction leads to a characterization of congruences in terms of kernels and traces. We describe the K, T, L, U and V relations on the lattice of all unary congruences on S, again in terms of parameters of S.
