Comment on: “Bi-interior ideals of semigroups”
This is about the paper “Bi-interior ideals of semigroups” by M. Murali Krishna Rao in Discuss. Math. Gen. Algebra Appl. 38 (2018) 69–78. According to Theorem 3.11 (also Theorem 3.3(8)) of the paper, the intersection of a bi-interior ideal [Formula: see text] of a semigroup [Formula: see text] and a subsemigroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is a bi-interior ideal of [Formula: see text]. Regarding to Theorem 3.6, every bi-interior ideal of a regular semigroup is an ideal of [Formula: see text]. We give an example that the above two results are not true for semigroups. According to the same paper, if [Formula: see text] is a regular semigroup then, for every bi-interior ideal [Formula: see text], every ideal [Formula: see text] and every left ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], we have [Formula: see text]. The proof is wrong, we provide the corrected proof. In most of the results of the paper the assumption of unity is not necessary. Care should be taken about the proofs in the paper.
