关于Mahmoudi和Renshaw的两个公开问题 乔虎生，魏重庆 西北师范大学数学系，兰州　730070 摘要：本文继续研究幺半群上循环系的覆盖,重点关注循环系的(P)-覆盖和强平坦覆盖.我们给 出的例子证明了存在幺半群S和循环S-系A没有(P)-覆盖, 也证明了存在幺半群S和循环S-系A 的强平坦覆盖不唯一, 因此回答了文献[1]中的公开问题1和公开问题5. 关键词：基础数学；强平坦覆盖；(P)-覆盖 中图分类号： O152.7 On two open problems of Mahmoudi and Renshaw QIAO Hu-Sheng, Wei Chong-Qing Department of Mathematics, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070 Abstract: This paper continues the investigation of covers of cyclic acts over monoids. Special attention is paid to (P)-covers and strongly ?at covers of cyclic acts. We give some examples to show that there exists a monoid S and a cyclic S-act A which does not have a (P)-cover, and there exists a monoid S and a cyclic S-act A such that the strongly ?at covers of A is not unique. Hence we answer the open problems 1 and 5 in [1]. Key words: basic mathematics; strongly ?at cover; (P)-cover  1  Introduction  Throughout this paper, S always stands for a monoid, and N the set of natural numbers. The substantial work on covers of acts over monoids are referred to the following articles: [2, 3, 4]. But the authors mainly consider projective covers. Further investigations about this ?elds have lain dormant until the appearance of the article Mojgan Mahmoudi, James Renshaw, On covers of cyclic acts over monoids, Semigroup Forum 77, 325-338(2008). Mahmoudi and Renshaw de?ne a strongly ?at cover((P)-cover) and give a necessary and su?cient condition for the existence of such covers and for a monoid to have the property that all its cyclic right acts have a strongly ?at cover (resp. (P)-cover). They also give a new necessary and su?cient condition for a cyclic act to have a projective cover and provide a new proof of one of Isbell’s 基金项目： NSFC(No，SRFDP(20096203120001)，Foundation for Young Innovative Scientists in Gansu Province 作者简介： Qiao HuSheng（1974-），male，professor，major research semigroups. female，master，major research semigroups. -1- Wei ChongQing（1984-）， classic results concerning projective cove
