Abstract:
For any pair of distinct elements a, b in a finitely generated abelian semigroup S, we indicate what are the homomorphisms $\phi$ of S onto a finite semigroup such that $\phi (a) \ne \phi (b)$. This improves a previous result of Malcev which states that the considered semigroups are residually finite.References
