Template:Cross-Relation Context Definition

This template is to be used to insert onto a page the full specification of the scope of the cross-relation on the subsemigroups of a given commutative semigroup with cancellable elements.

This specification is required in order for $\boxtimes$ to be an equivalence relation.

The following is what is transcluded:

Let $\left({S, \circ}\right)$ be a commutative semigroup with cancellable elements.

Let $\left({C, \circ_{\restriction_C}}\right) \subseteq \left({S, \circ}\right)$ be the subsemigroup of cancellable elements of $\left({S, \circ}\right)$, where $\circ_{\restriction_C}$ denotes the restriction of $\circ$ to $C$.

Let $\left({S_1, \circ_{\restriction_1}}\right) \subseteq \left({S, \circ}\right)$ be a subsemigroup of $S$.

Let $\left({S_2, \circ_{\restriction_2}}\right) \subseteq \left({C, \circ_{\restriction_C}}\right)$ be a subsemigroup of $C$.

Let $\left({S_1 \times S_2, \oplus}\right)$ be the (external) direct product of $\left({S_1, \circ_{\restriction_1}}\right)$ and $\left({S_2, \circ_{\restriction_2}}\right)$, where $\oplus$ is the operation on $S_1 \times S_2$ induced by $\circ_{\restriction_1}$ on $S_1$ and $\circ_{\restriction_2}$ on $S_2$.

Let $\boxtimes$ be the cross-relation on $S_1 \times S_2$, defined as:
 * $\left({x_1, y_1}\right) \boxtimes \left({x_2, y_2}\right) \iff x_1 \circ y_2 = x_2 \circ y_1$
