Dear Forum, We know that what we call a J-Class in a finite semigroup is really a principle ideal generated by an element of the semigroup. Here is a finitely presented semigroup of order 8:
gap> f:=FreeSemigroup("a","b");; a:=f.1;; b:=f.2;; s:=f/[[a^3,a],[b^2*a,a*b],[(a*b)^2*b,b]];; e:=Elements(s); Now, lets the following code calls the two-sided ideal generated by e[1]: > Elements(SemigroupIdealByGenerators(s,[e[1]])); [ a, a^2*b, a^2, a*b, b*a, a*b*a, b*a*b, a*b*a*b ] But by doing: > GreensJClasses(s); none of the Green J-Classes of semigroup "s" is equal to above set. Simply asking why two below codes have different outputs? Or, I am mistaking about a very simple fact which is clear?
