We obtained these results by combining computer search with recently published formulae for the number of nilpotent semigroups of degree 3. We further provide a complete account of the automorphism groups of the semigroups with at most 9 elements. We use this information to deduce that there are 148,195,347,518,186 distinct associative binary operations on an 8-element set and 38,447,365,355,811,944,462 on a 9-element set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-25T12:05:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "20M99" ], "keywords": [ "automorphism groups", "distinct associative binary operations", "isomorphism", "combining computer search", "complete account" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.6023D" } } }
