Abstract

We give a complete characterisation of Green’s relations $\mathscr{L},\mathscr{R},\mathscr{H}$, $\mathscr{D}$ and $\mathscr{J}$ in the multiplicative semigroup of $2\times 2$ supertropical matrices. We determine the maximal subgroups of the semigroup $M_2(\mathbb{T})$ by finding the $\mathscr{R}- classes$ containing idempotents, followed by the identification of $\mathscr{H}- classes$.

Keywords
