Medial modes and rectangular algebras
Anna Zamojska-Dzienio · Czech digital mathematics library · 2006
summary:Medial modes, a natural generalization of normal bands, were investigated by P\l onka. Rectangular algebras, a generalization of rectangular bands (diagonal modes) were investigated by Pöschel and Reichel. In this paper we show that each medial mode embeds as a subreduct into a semimodule over a certain ring, and that a similar theorem holds for each Lallement sum of cancellative modes over a medial mode. Similar results are obtained for rectangular algebras. The paper generalizes earlier results of A. Romanowska, J.D.H. Smith and A. Zamojska-Dzienio.
