Abstract

For an arbitrary set X (finite or infinite), denote by I(X) the symmetric inverse semigroup of partial injective transformations on X . For α∈I(X) , let C(α)={β∈I(X):αβ=βα} be the centraliser of α in I(X) . For an arbitrary α∈I(X) , we characterise the transformations β∈I(X) that belong to C(α) , describe the regular elements C(α) , and establish when C(α) is an inverse semigroup and when it is a completely regular semigroup. In the case where dom⁡(α)=X , we determine the structure of C(α) in terms of Green’s relations.
