zero elements


Let S be a semigroup. An element z is called a right zero [resp. left zero] if xz=z [resp. zx=z] for all xS.

An element which is both a left and a right zero is called a zero element.

A semigroup may have many left zeros or right zeros, but if it has at least one of each, then they are necessarily equal, giving a unique (two-sided) zero element.

More generally, these definitions and statements are valid for a groupoidPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath.

It is customary to use the symbol θ for the zero element of a semigroup.

Proposition 1.

If a groupoid has a left zero 0L and a right zero 0R, then 0L=0R.

Proof.

0L=0L0R=0R. ∎

Proposition 2.

If 0 is a left zero in a semigroup S, then so is x0 for every xS.

Proof.

For any yS, (x0)y=x(0y)=x0. As a result, x0 is a left zero of S.∎

Proposition 3.

If 0 is the unique left zero in a semigroup S, then it is also the zero element.

Proof.

By assumptionPlanetmathPlanetmath and the previous propositionPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath, x0 is a left zero for every xS. But 0 is the unique left zero in S, we must have x0=0, which means that 0 is a right zero element, and hence a zero element by the first proposition.∎
