Title
Idempotent Pointlike Sets
Abstract
In this paper we answer a question posed by John Rhodes: "What are the aperiodic-idempotent-pointlike subsemigroups of S?" Answer: Precisely those aperiodic-pointlike subsemigroups that are idempotents, i.e. EPl(A)(S) = {X \ X less than or equal to E = E(2) is an element of Pl(A)(S)}. the proof we define, for a given variety V (closed under n-tuple expansion) and a given relation R : S - V is an element of V computing the V-pointlike subsets of S, an "improved" relation R((n)) : S - V((n)) that computes the V-idempotent-point like subsemigroups of S. Consequently, for any W with decidable membership problem W (m) A is decidable.
