For product structures we must inspect e1 × . . . × en, which is the constant<br />
operation (e1, . . . , en), and is easily seen to be neutral :<br />
(a1, . . . , an) ♢ 1<br />
×· · ·× ♢ n<br />
(e1, . . . , en) = (a1 ♢ 1<br />
e1, . . . , an ♢ n<br />
en) = (a1, . . . , an).<br />
For quotient structures we must inspect e/ ∼, which is the constant operation<br />
[e]. To show it to be neutral we have the following simple calculation:<br />
[a][e] = [ae] = [a]<br />
Examples of function spaces are X31,X32. Example quotient monoids are found<br />
in: E22<br />

Deal with the following examples and exercises. E23 E24 E25 E26 X27<br />

8. 4: Monoid homomorphisms<br />
75. Definition: Monoid homomorphism<br />
A homomorphism between monoids is said to be a monoid homomorphism.<br />
X31,X33.<br />

76. Definition: The kernel for a monoid homomorphism<br />
By the kernel for a monoid homomorphism we mean the inverse image of the<br />
neutral element. So if (A, ♢ , eA) and (B, ♡ , eB) are monoids and f : A → B<br />
is a monoid homomorphism, then f −1 ({eB}) is called the kernel for f (wrt to<br />
the structures). It is denoted by ker f<br />
77. Theorem: The kernel of a monoid homomorphism is a submonoid<br />
Let (A, ♢ , eA) and (B, ♡ , eB) be monoids and f : A → B a monoid homomorphism,<br />
Then ker f is a submonoid.<br />
