Extensions of semigroups by symmetric inverse semigroups of a bounded finite rank
We study the semigroup extension $\mathscr{I}_λ^n(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ by symmetric inverse semigroups of a bounded finite rank. We describe idempotents and regular elements of the semigroups $\mathscr{I}_λ^n(S)$ and $\overline{\mathscr{I}_λ^n}(S)$ show that the semigroup $\mathscr{I}_λ^n(S)$ ($\overline{\mathscr{I}_λ^n}(S)$) is regular, orthodox, inverse or stable if and only if so is $S$. Green's relations are described on the semigroup $\mathscr{I}_λ^n(S)$ for an arbitrary monoid $S$. We introduce the conception of a semigroup with strongly tight ideal series, and proved that for any infinite cardinal $λ$ and any positive integer $n$ the semigroup $\mathscr{I}_λ^n(S)$ has a strongly tight ideal series provides so has $S$. At the finish we show that for every compact Hausdorff semitopological monoid $(S,τ_S)$ there exists a unique its compact topological extension $\left(\mathscr{I}_λ^n(S),τ_{\mathscr{I}}^\mathbf{c}\right)$ in the class of Haudorff semitopological semigroups.
