Jan 10, 2023 at 19:09 comment added Benjamin Steinberg I think the issue here is that your r,l are order-reversing and order-reversing galois connections are a bit messy under composition.
Jan 10, 2023 at 18:31 comment added Benjamin Steinberg This is somehow related to residuation theory by Blyth and otehrs, but because your Galois connection reverses order, I am a bit confused. You might look at the paper Regular monoids generated by two galois connections by Martin Skorsky, Semigroup Forum volume 39, pages 263–293 (1989). He looks at something similar to what you do but not exactly the same. He gets a regular semigroup out of this and you might look at his section 2 for ideas.

Jan 10, 2023 at 16:56 comment added user494312 @BenjaminSteinberg: Oh, you are right. It is not a semi-group. And what I wrote using $S^{-1}$ is nonsense, and is unfixable. I meant to use take orthogonals with respect to $R^{-1}$, but do not see now how it might helps. Let me edit the question as you suggest.
Jan 10, 2023 at 14:31 comment added Benjamin Steinberg Also, I don't believe what you define is actually a semigroup if you leave $S$ fixed. Your equivalence relation, as I understand it, is that the free monoid on l and r act on the right P(V) by your definition above. But then, the equivalence relation is only a right congruence and not a congruence. Just because $S^u=S^v$, I don't see any reason why $S^wu=S^wv$. I think you would get a congruence if you define u equivalent to v if T^u=T^v for all subsets T of V.
Jan 10, 2023 at 14:28 comment added Benjamin Steinberg But $S$ is a set not a relation
Jan 10, 2023 at 12:36 comment added user494312 The inverse of $S$: $S^{-1}:=\{ (y,x)\in V\times V: (x,y)\in S\}$. That is, $(x,y)\in S$ iff $(y,x)\in S^{-1}$.
Jan 10, 2023 at 12:09 comment added Benjamin Steinberg What does S^{-1} mean?
Jan 10, 2023 at 9:28 comment added user494312 @BenjaminSteinberg: Let $u^T$ denote the result of replacing each letter $l$ by $r$, and each $r$ by $l$, i.e. $l^T:=r$, $r^T:=l$, and $(xy)^T:=x^Ty^T$. Let $S^{-1}:=\{(y,x): (x,y)\in S\}$. Then $u=_{S,R}u u^T u$, as follows from the following. $S^r = ((S^{-1})^l)^{-1}$, and, more generally, $S^u=((S^{-1})^{u^T})^{-1}$. This implies that $l=_{S^u,V} lrl$ means that $ul=_{S,V} ul u^T r ul = (ul) (ul)^T (ul)$.
Jan 10, 2023 at 9:27 comment added user494312 @BenjaminSteinberg: Yes, I think so, though it requires a little argument. Here is a (corrected) argument.
Jan 10, 2023 at 1:45 comment added Benjamin Steinberg Are you sure the semigroup is regular? It isn't enough for the generators to be regular.
