The finite basis problem for varieties generated by all semirings of a fixed order

Abstract

Let Avarn and VVn be the varieties generated by all n-element additively idempotent semirings (ai-semirings) and all n-element semirings with commutative addition, respectively, in the signature (+,·) without constants. We prove that both varieties are finitely based if and only if n≤2. The five-element case follows from cyclic identities and a structural analysis of products of squares. For n≥6, each variety contains a finite inherently nonfinitely based ai-semiring. We also prove VVn∩AI=Avarn for every n, where AI is the variety of all ai-semirings.
