On linear algebraic semigroups III

Using some results on linear algebraic groups, we show that every connected linear algebraic semigroup S contains a closed, connected diagonalizable subsemigroup T with zero such that E(T) intersects each regular J-class of S. It is also shown that the lattice (E(T),≤) is isomorphic to the lattice o...

Description
Summary:Using some results on linear algebraic groups, we show that every connected linear algebraic semigroup S contains a closed, connected diagonalizable subsemigroup T with zero such that E(T) intersects each regular J-class of S. It is also shown that the lattice (E(T),≤) is isomorphic to the lattice of faces of a rational polytope in some ℝn. Using these results, it is shown that if S is any connected semigroup with lattice of regular J-classes U(S), then all maximal chains in U(S) have the same length.
