This symbol is a constructor for semigroups. It takes two arguments in
the following order: a set to specify the elements in the semigroup,
and a binary operation to specify the semigroup operation. The binary
operation should act on elements of the set and return an element of
the set.
Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
A semigroup is closed under its operation.
A semigroup operation is associative.
This symbol represents a unary function, whose argument should be a
semigroup S (for instance constructed by semigroup). When
applied to S, its value should be the set of elements of S.
This symbol represents a unary function, whose argument should be a
semigroup S. It returns the multiplication map on S.
We allow for the map to be n-ary.
This symbol is a unary function. Its argument should be a semigroup
S. When applied to S, it denotes the magma with the same element set
and binary operation as S.
This symbol is a constructor symbol with two arguments. The first
argument is a semigroup S, the second a list or set, D, of elements of S.
When applied to S and D, it denotes the subsemigroup of S generated by D.
This symbol is a ternary function. Its first argument should be a
semigroup S and the second and third arguments should be elements of
S. When applied to S, a, and b, it denotes the fact that a is a
divisor of b in S. This means that there are u,v in carrier(S) such
that uav=b.
This symbol is a function with two arguments. Its first
argument should be a semigroup G. The
second should be an arithmetic expression A,
whose operators are
times and power, and whose leaves are members of the carrier of G.
The second argument of power should be positive. When applied to
G and A, it denotes the element (of G) that is obtained from the
leaves of A by applying the multiplication and the power map of G instead of the
times and power of the CD arith1 appearing in A.
