Non-commutative finite monoids of a given order n ≥ 4

For a given integer n=p1α1p2α2⋯pkαk$n = p_1^{\alpha _1 } p_2^{\alpha _2 } \cdots p_k^{\alpha _k }$ (k ≥ 2), we give here a class of finitely presented finite monoids of order n. Indeed the monoids Mon(π), where π=〈a1,a2,…,ak|aipiαi=ai, (i=1,2,…,k),aiai+1=ai, (i=1,2,…,k−1)〉.$$\pi = {\langle {a_1 ,a_2 , \ldots ,a_k |a_i^{p_i^{\alpha _i } } = {a_i}, {\left({i = 1,2, \ldots ,k} \right)}, a_i a_{i + 1} = {a_i}, \left({i = 1,2, \ldots ,k - 1} \right)} \rangle} .$$ As a result of this study we are able to classify a wide family of the k-generated p-monoids (finite monoids of order a power of a prime p). An interesting di erence between the center of finite p-groups and the center of finite p-monoids has been achieved as well. All of these monoids are regular and non-commutative.
