On monotone alternating inverse monoids

Vítor Hugo Fernandes

TL;DR

This paper analyzes two inverse submonoids of the alternating inverse monoid $ ext{AI}_n$: the monotone submonoid $ ext{AM}_n$ and the order-preserving submonoid $ ext{AO}_n$. It provides a detailed description of their Green's structures, characterizes all congruences (with $ ext{AO}_n$ admitting exactly $n+3$ Rees congruences and $ ext{AM}_n$ exhibiting a mod-$4$-dependent congruence lattice), and determines their ranks along with explicit generating sets. The results yield precise counts of elements, a clear stratification by $ ext{J}$-classes (including two top rank-$n-1$ classes in several cases), and concrete minimal generating sets whose sizes depend on $nmod 4$. These findings advance understanding of monotone and order-preserving submonoids within alternating inverse semigroups and provide tools for further algebraic and computational exploration.

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the inverse submonoids $AM_n$ of monotone transformations and $AO_n$ of order-preserving transformations of the alternating inverse monoid $AI_n$ on a chain with $n$ elements. We compute the cardinalities, describe the Green's structures and the congruences, and calculate the ranks of these two submonoids of $AI_n$.
