Bourbaki

Exercise 13, § 2

Algebra, I, 128

Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.

Suppose that, for all x∈Ex \in E, γx\gamma_x is surjective. Show that if, for an element a∈Ea \in E, γa\gamma_a is a bijective mapping, γx\gamma_x is a bijective mapping for all x∈Ex \in E (use Exercise 12(b)); this holds in particular if there exist two elements a,ba, b of EE such that ab=bab = b (use Exercise 12(a)); EE is then a left semi-group whose residue RR is empty; moreover, for every idempotent uu, every element of EuEu is invertible in EuEu.
