The Minimal Degree of a Finite Inverse Semigroup
The minimal degree of an inverse semigroup $S$ is the minimal cardinality of a set $A$ such that $S$ is isomorphic to an inverse semigroup of one-to-one partial transformations of $A$. The main result is a formula that expresses the minimal degree of a finite inverse semigroup $S$ in terms …
