Abstract

The aim of this paper is to develop the calculus of trivializers for subsemigroups.
Given a finite presentation P defining a semigroup S and a trivializer of the Squier
complex of P, we obtain an infinite trivializer of the Squier complex of a finite
presentation defining a subsemigroup of S. Also, we give a method to find finite
trivializers for special subsemigroups and hence to show that those subsemigroups
have finite derivation type (FDT). An application of this method is given: we prove
that if S = B[Y, Sα] is a band of monoids having FDT, then so does Sα, for any
α ∈ Y .
