Let X be a countable infinite set and let S be the set of one-one maps \(\displaystyle \,\alpha\, :\, X\, \rightarrow\, X\,\) with the property that \(\displaystyle \, X\, \backslash \, X\alpha\, \) is infinite.
(a) Show that S is a subgroup of \(\displaystyle \, \mathcal{T}_X.\)
(b) Show that for each \(\displaystyle \, \alpha\, \) in S there is a one-one correspondence between \(\displaystyle \, X\, \backslash\, X\alpha\, \) and \(\displaystyle \, X\alpha\, \backslash\, X\alpha^2\, \).
(c) Deduce that S has no idempotent elements.
S is called the Baer Levi semigroup.
could you please help me to prove this ?
