The ascending chain condition on principal right ideals for semigroup constructions

Abstract

We call a semigroup \({\mathcal {R}}\)-noetherian if it satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal right ideals, or, equivalently, the ascending chain condition on \({\mathcal {R}}\)-classes. We investigate the behaviour of the property of being \({\mathcal {R}}\text {-noetherian}\) under the following standard semigroup-theoretic constructions: semidirect products, Schützenberger products, free products, Rees matrix semigroups, Brandt extensions, Bruck–Reilly extensions and semilattices of semigroups.
