Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the study of limit varieties of additively idempotent semirings. A limit variety is a nonfinitely based variety whose proper subvarieties are all finitely based. We present concrete constructions for one infinite family of limit additively idempotent semiring varieties, and one further ad hoc example. Each of these examples can be generated by a finite flat semiring, with the infinite family arising by a way of a complete characterisation of limit varieties that can be generated by the flat extension of a finite group. We also demonstrate the existence of other examples of limit varieties of additively idempotent semirings, including one further continuum-sized family, each with no finite generator, and two further ad hoc examples. While an explicit description of these latter examples is not given, one of the examples is proved to contain only trivial flat semirings.
