Abstract

The (full) transformation semigroup Tn is the semigroup of all functions from the finite set {1, . . . , n} to itself, under the operation of composition. The symmetric group Sn ⊆ Tn is the group of all permutations on {1, . . . , n} and is the group of units of Tn. The complement Tn Sn is a subsemigroup (indeed an ideal) of Tn. In this article we give a presentation, in terms of generators and relations, for Tn Sn, the so-called singular part of Tn.
