Right zero in a finite semigroup












0












$begingroup$


Let $(M, cdot)$ be a finite semigroup such that



$$ x,yin Mwedge exists a,bin M:x=a⋅ywedge y=b⋅xRightarrow x=y. $$



Show that M contains at least one right absorbant element(or right zero).



Using that there exists an $x^n=x$ for $xin M$ because it is a finite semigroup I got that $(M, cdot)$ is a idempotent semigroup but I'm not sure it's correct.I don't know how to continue.

    What about a group where $a=b=e$? That doesn't have a zero element. That seems to satisfy your condition

    @MattSamuel Maybe OP's condition misses somethin like $aneq b$. I don't know.

Your condition means that $M$ is $mathcal{L}$-trivial, i.e. the Green's relation $mathcal{L}$ is the equality. Since $M$ is finite, it has a minimum ideal $I$, which is a completely simple semigroup. Moreover, since $M$ is $mathcal{L}$-trivial, $I$ is actually a right zero band, and all its elements are right zeroes.
