Commutative inverse semigroups
Abbreviation: CInvSgrp
Definition
A \emph{commutative inverse semigroup} is an inverse semigroups S=⟨S,⋅,−1⟩ such that
⋅ is commutative: xy=yx
Definition
A \emph{commutative inverse semigroup} is a structure S=⟨S,⋅,−1⟩ such that
⋅ is associative: (xy)z=x(yz)
⋅ is commutative: xy=yx
−1 is an inverse: xx−1x=x, (x−1)−1=x
Morphisms
Let S and T be commutative inverse semigroups. A morphism from S to T is a function h:S→T that is a homomorphism:
h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(x−1)=h(x)−1
