Abstract
A band is a semigroup whose elements are idempotents. It is proved that for any field K the commutative K-algebra, constructed in [2], associated to a band S with two components E, F such that EFE = F, is a reduced ring. Thus the semigroup algebra K[S] can be embedded in upper triangular matrices over a commutative reduced K-algebra. © 2010 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
