Abstract

The finite state wreath power of a transformation semigroup is introduced. It is proved that the finite state wreath power of nontrivial semigroup is not finitely generated and in some cases even does not contain irreducible generating systems. The free product of two monogenic semigroups of index 1 and period m is constructed in the finite state wreath power of corresponding monogenic monoid.
