Explicit equational bases for the power semirings of $S_7$

For every semigroup $S$, the set $\mathcal{P}(S)$ of all subsets of $S$ and the set $\mathcal{P}^{+}(S)$ of all nonempty subsets of $S$ form additively idempotent semirings under set-theoretic union and elementwise multiplication, called the full and nonempty power semirings of $S$, respectively. We investigate the finite basis problem for the full and nonempty power semirings $\mathcal{P}(S_7)$ and $\mathcal{P}^{+}(S_7)$ of the multiplicative reduct of $S_7$, where $S_7$ is the unique nonfinitely based three-element additively idempotent semiring. We provide explicit infinite equational bases for both and prove that they are nonfinitely based. For $\mathcal{P}^{+}(S_7)$, we establish a new sufficient condition for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based and apply it to obtain the required result. Moreover, we show that the interval $[\mathsf{V}(\mathcal{P}^{+}(S_7)), \mathsf{V}(\mathcal{P}(S_7))]$ in the lattice of additively idempotent semiring varieties has the cardinality of the continuum.

A nonfinitely based additively idempotent semiring that is not strongly nonfinitely based and generates a limit variety

We present an explicit infinite equational basis for the six-element additively idempotent semiring $TR_6$ and prove that $TR_6$ is nonfinitely based. We also give a complete description of the subvariety lattice of the variety generated by $TR_6$, showing that it forms a four-element chain. Our results demonstrate that the variety generated by $TR_6$ is a limit variety: it is itself nonfinitely based, yet all of its proper subvarieties are finitely based. This provides a new limit variety of additively idempotent semirings, distinct from all previously known ones. In fact, $\mathsf{V}(TR_6)$ is the first explicit limit subvariety of the variety generated by the max-plus algebra $\mathbf{N}$. Moreover, $TR_6$ is not strongly nonfinitely based: it belongs to a finitely based variety generated by a finite additively idempotent semiring. Together with the six-element additively idempotent semiring $SR_6$, these are the first two finite additively idempotent semirings that are nonfinitely based but not strongly nonfinitely based. Finally, we study the variety generated by $SR_6$ and $TR_6$, showing that it is nonfinitely based and has exactly nine subvarieties, four of which are nonfinitely based and the remaining five are finitely based.

A new limit variety of additively idempotent semirings

We establish a sufficient condition for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based. Applying this condition, we prove that the six-element additively idempotent semiring $SR_6$ has no finite basis for its identity. Furthermore, we provide a complete description of the subvariety lattice of the variety $\mathsf{V}(SR_6)$ generated by $SR_6$, showing that it forms a four-element chain. Our results demonstrate that $\mathsf{V}(SR_6)$ is a limit variety: it is itself nonfinitely based, yet all of its proper subvarieties are finitely based. Moreover, $SR_6$ is the smallest known example of an additively idempotent semiring generating a limit variety.

The finite basis problem for matrix semirings $\mathbf{M}_n(S_7)$

We first prove that two matrix semirings $\mathbf{M}_n(S_1)$ and $\mathbf{M}_n(S_2)$ are equationally equivalent whenever additively idempotent semirings $S_1$ and $S_2$ are equationally equivalent. We then prove an embedding theorem for matrix semirings $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$ over an additively idempotent semiring $S$: for all $n \geq 2$, $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$ embeds into $\mathbf{M}_{n+1}(S)$. This yields an ascending chain of varieties $\mathsf{V}(\mathbf{M}_2(S)) \leq \mathsf{V}(\mathbf{M}_3(S)) \leq \cdots$, which is strictly ascending when $S$ is the two-element distributive lattice. Finally, we show that every variety in the interval $[\mathsf{V}(S_c(abc)), \mathsf{V}(\mathbf{M}_n(S_7))]$ is nonfinitely based (i.e., has no finite basis for its identities), where $S_c(abc)$ is an eight-element flat semiring and $S_7$ is the unique nonfinitely based three-element additively idempotent semiring. Consequently, $\mathbf{M}_n(S_7)$ is nonfinitely based, yielding an ascending chain $\mathsf{V}(\mathbf{M}_2(S_7)) \leq \mathsf{V}(\mathbf{M}_3(S_7)) \leq \cdots$; moreover, every variety in $[\mathsf{V}(S_7), \mathsf{V}(\mathbf{M}_n(S_7))]$ is also nonfinitely based, and this interval contains at least countably infinitely many distinct varieties.

The finite basis problem for the power semirings of finite groups

For any group $G$, the set of all nonempty subsets of $G$ forms an additively idempotent semiring under set-theoretic union and elementwise multiplication, called the power semiring of $G$ and denoted by $\mathcal{P}(G)$. We prove that for a finite group $G$, $\mathcal{P}(G)$ has no finite basis for its identities if and only if $|G| \geq 3$. This completes the classification of the power semirings of finite groups with respect to the finite basis property.

The finite basis problem for the flat semirings $S(W)$

We focus on the finite basis problem for flat semirings of the form $S(W)$, where $W$ is an arbitrary set of nonempty words. We prove that $S(W)$ generates a Cross variety (and hence is finitely based) whenever every word in $W$ has length at most $3$, whereas it is nonfinitely based whenever there exists $k \geq 3$ such that $W$ is $x^{k+2}$-free but not $x^{k+1}$-free. In particular, if $W_k$ denotes the set of all words of length $k$, then $S(W_k)$ is finitely based if and only if $k \leq 3$. Moreover, $S(W)$ is nonfinitely based whenever $W$ is finite and not $x^4$-free. These results provide a partial answer to an open problem raised by Jackson et al.~(J Algebra 611: 211--245, 2022).

A nonfinitely based additively idempotent semiring of order four

We first establish a sufficient condition for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based. As applications, we exhibit several examples of additively idempotent semirings satisfying this condition, including a $4$-element semiring $S_{(4,124)}$ whose additive reduct has two minimal elements and two coatoms. Consequently, these semirings have no finite basis for their identities.

The flat semirings with nilpotent multiplicative reducts

In this paper, we focus on the variety $\mathbf{NF}_3$ generated by all flat semirings with $3$-nilpotent multiplicative reducts. By introducing graph semirings, we characterize all subdirectly irreducible members of $\mathbf{NF}_3$. We prove that the variety $\mathbf{NF}_3$ has uncountably many subvarieties and show that every finitely generated subvariety of $\mathbf{NF}_3$ is a Cross variety. Moreover, we demonstrate that $\mathbf{NF}_3$ has a unique limit subvariety, which is generated by all acyclic graph semirings.

Two nonfinitely based additively idempotent semirings of order four

We establish two sufficient conditions for an additively idempotent semiring to be nonfinitely based. As applications, we prove that two specific $4$-element additively idempotent semirings, $S_{(4,545)}$ and $S_{(4,634)}$, whose additive reducts are chains, have no finite basis for their identities. Furthermore, we show that the interval $[\mathsf{V}(S_{(4,545)}),\mathsf{V}(S_{(4,634)})]$ in the lattice of semiring varieties contains \(2^{\aleph_0}\) distinct varieties. Consequently, the join of two finitely based additively idempotent semiring varieties is not necessarily finitely based. Moreover, we obtain the smallest example of a finitely based additively idempotent semiring $S$ whose extension $S^0$ (obtained by adjoining a new element) is nonfinitely based.

Every additively idempotent semiring satisfying $xy\approx xz$ is finitely based

We study the finite basis problem for additively idempotent semirings satisfying the identity $xy \approx xz$. Let $\mathbf{R}$ denote the variety of all such semirings. Yue et al. (2025, Algebra Universalis, DOI:10.1007/s00012-025-00908-5) established that $\mathbf{R}$ is finitely generated. In this paper, we show that the subvariety lattice of $\mathbf{R}$ forms a distributive lattice of order $10$. As a consequence, the variety $\mathbf{R}$ is a Cross variety, and every member of $\mathbf{R}$ is finitely based.

Embedding lattices of quasivarieties of periodic groups into lattices of additively idempotent semiring varieties: An algebraic proof

A general result by Jackson (Flat algebras and the translation of universal Horn logic to equational logic, J. Symb. Log. 73(1) (2008) 90--128) implies that the lattice of all quasivarieties of groups of exponent dividing $n$ embeds into the lattice $L(\mathbf{Sr}_n)$ of all varieties of additively idempotent semirings whose multiplicative semigroups are unions of groups of exponent dividing $n$; the image of this embedding is an interval in $L(\mathbf{Sr}_n)$. We provide a new, direct, and purely algebraic proof of these facts and present a new identity basis for the top variety of the interval. In addition, we obtain new information about the lattice $L(\mathbf{Sr}_n)$, demonstrating that the properties of the lattice for $n\ge 3$ differ drastically from those previously known when $n=1$ or $2$.

Optical coherence and hyperfine structure of the 7F0-5D0 transition in EuCaWO4

Rare-earth ions doped in crystals with low nuclear-spin densities are highly promising candidates for quantum technology applications. In this study, we investigated the spectroscopic properties of the 7F0 - 5 D0 optical and the hyperfine transitions of Eu3+ ions in a CaWO4 crystal, where the nuclear spin arises solely from the 183W isotope, with a natural abundance of 14%. At a temperature of 3 K, we experimentally identified four distinct crystal field environments for Eu3+ ions in a 0.1 at.% Eu3+ doped CaWO4 crystal. The optical coherence properties of Eu3+ ions in these environments were characterized. Additionally, we resolved the hyperfine structures in the 7F0 ground state and 5D0 excited state, and determined the 7F0 ground state lifetimes using spectral hole-burning techniques. These findings highlight the significant potential of Eu3+:CaWO4 for optical quantum memory applications.

Ultralong-lived Coherent States in Eu$^{3+}$:Y$_2$O$_3$ Optical Ceramics for Quantum Memories

Rare earth ions (REI) in solid materials are among the leading systems for quantum technology applications. However, developing practical REI quantum devices with long-lived coherent states remains challenging due to great growth difficulties of high-quality REI materials and a lack of comprehensive understanding of REI's decoherence mechanisms. Here we realize a record optical coherence time of 421.5 $\pm$ 10.5 $μ$s for the $^7$F$_0\rightarrow^5$D$_0$ transition and more than 30 hours lifetime for the $^7$F$_0$ hyperfine spin states in Eu$^{3+}$:Y$_2$O$_3$ optical ceramics. We report the elimination of two-level-system induced optical decoherence in short-range ordered crystals. Meanwhile, a new decoherence mechanism caused by new kinds of perturbing magnetic centers is identified below 1.5 K. We further demonstrate the coherent light storage over 5 $μ$s by using the atomic frequency comb protocol. These results open up prospects for the realization of practical quantum memories and large scale quantum communications with REI optical ceramics.

The finite basis problem for additively idempotent semirings that relate to S_7

The $3$-element additively idempotent semiring $S_7$ is a nonnitely based algebra of the smallest possible order. In this paper we study the nite basis problem for some additively idempotent semirings that relate to $S_7$. We present a su cient condition under which an additively idempotent semiring variety is nonnitely based and as applications, show that some additively idempotent semiring varieties that contain $S_7$ are also nonnitely based. We then consider the subdirectly irreducible members of the variety $\mathsf{V}(S_7)$ generated by $S_7$. We show that $\mathsf{V}(S_7)$ contains exactly $6$ finitely based subvarieties, all of which sit at the base of the subvariety lattice, then invoke results from the homomorphism theory of Kneser graphs to verify that $\mathsf{V}(S_7)$ contains a continuum of subvarieties.
