Subquotients of monoids #
A monoid T is a subquotient of a monoid S when T is a homomorphic image of a
submonoid of S. In finite semigroup theory the relation is called division (T ≼ S)
[Eil76]; in group theory, a section. This file defines the relation and proves
it transitive, closed under products, and, on finite monoids, antisymmetric up to
isomorphism.
