A characterization of the maximal monoids and maximal groups in βX

Darald Joe Hartfiel and Carlton James Maxson

Vol. 58 (1975), No. 2, 437–444
Abstract

This paper gives a characterization of the maximal monoids and maximal groups in βX, the semigroup of binary relations. The characterization is applied to show that the maximal group containing the partial order α is isomorphic to the group of order automorphisms of (X,α).
