GENERAL THEOREMS ON AUTOMORPHISMS OF SEMIGROUPS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
João Araüjo, Janusz Konieczny · Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society · 2009
Abstract We introduce the notion of a strong representation of a semigroup in the monoid of endomorphisms of any mathematical structure, and use this concept to provide a theoretical description of the automorphism group of any semigroup. As an application of our general theorems, we extend to semigroups a well-known result concerning automorphisms of groups, and we determine the automorphism groups of certain transformation semigroups and of the fundamental inverse semigroups.
