TL;DR
The paper develops a finite, coherent theory of commutative ternary Γ-semirings by establishing a modular and distributive ideal lattice, a subdirect decomposition framework, and a radical theory in which $\mathrm{Rad}(T)=\mathrm{Nil}(T)$. It proves a Wedderburn-type decomposition $T\cong\mathrm{Rad}(T)\times S$ with a semisimple factor $S$, and provides complete classifications for $|T|\le 4$, validating the invariants $\mathcal{I}(T)=(|T|,|\Gamma|,|\mathrm{Id}(T)|,|\mathrm{Con}(T)|,|\mathrm{Rad}(T)|,|\mathrm{Nil}(T)|)$ as effective fingerprints. An algorithmic framework enumerates all nonisomorphic finite structures, coupling algebraic axioms with canonical labeling to produce representative operation tables and classification tables. The work integrates radical–spectrum theory with computational enumeration, and outlines applications to coding, cryptography, fuzzy logic, path problems, and categorical semantics, while proposing concrete future directions such as prime avoidance, Krull-type dimensions, and module theory in the ternary Γ-context.
Abstract
Purpose: To develop the algebraic foundation of finite commutative ternary $Γ$-semirings by identifying their intrinsic invariants, lattice organization, and radical behavior that generalize classical semiring and $Γ$-ring frameworks. Methods: Finite models of commutative ternary $Γ$-semirings are constructed under the axioms of closure, distributivity, and symmetry. Structural and congruence lattices are analyzed, and subdirect decomposition theorems are established through ideal-theoretic arguments. Results: Each finite commutative ternary $Γ$-semiring admits a unique (up to isomorphism) decomposition into subdirectly irreducible components. Radical and ideal correspondences parallel classical results for binary semirings, while the classification of all non-isomorphic systems of order $\lvert T\rvert\!\le\!4$ confirms the structural consistency of the theory. Conclusion: The paper provides a compact algebraic framework linking ideal theory and decomposition in finite ternary $Γ$-semirings, establishing the basis for later computational and categorical developments.
