On semigroups and groups of local polynomial functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
Let Zn be the factor ring of the integers mod n and t be a positive integer. In this paper some results are given on the structure of the semigroup of all mappings from Zn into Zn and on the structure of the group of all permutations on Zn, which, for any t elements, can be represented by a polynomial function. If n = ab and a, b are relatively prime, then this (semi)group is isomorphic to the direct product of the respective (semi)groups for a and b. Thus it is sufficient to consider only the case where n = pe, p being a prime. In this case it is proved, that the (semi)group is isomorphic to the wreath product of a certain sub(semi)group of the symmetric (semi)group on Zpe−1 by the symmetric (semi)group on Zp. Some remarks on these sub(semi)groups are given.
