Axiomatizing iteration categories

We associate an identity with every finite automaton and show that a set of equations consiting of some classical identities as well as the equations associated with a subclass of finite automata is complete for iteration theories if and only if every finite simple group divides the semigroup of an...

Description
Summary:We associate an identity with every finite automaton and show that a set of equations consiting of some classical identities as well as the equations associated with a subclass of finite automata is complete for iteration theories if and only if every finite simple group divides the semigroup of an automaton in the given subclass. By taking a special subclass with this property, we arrive at the final result of the paper.
