Title
Some results on $\cal C$-varieties
Abstract
In an earlier paper, the second author generalized Eilenberg's variety theory by establishing a basic correspondence between certain classes of monoid morphisms and families of regular languages. We extend this theory in several directions. First, we prove a version of Reiterman's theorem concerning the definition of varieties by identities, and illustrate this result by describing the identities associated with languages of the form (a(1)a(2)...a(k))(+), where a(1),...,a(k) are distinct letters. Next, we generalize the notions of Mal'cev product, positive varieties, and polynomial closure. Our results not only extend those already known, but permit a unified approach of different cases that previously required separate treatment.
