Abstract
We study the class of symmetric [Formula: see text]-ary bands. These are [Formula: see text]-ary semigroups [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is invariant under the action of permutations and idempotent, i.e., satisfies [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. We first provide a structure theorem for these symmetric [Formula: see text]-ary bands that extends the classical (strong) semilattice decomposition of certain classes of bands. We introduce the concept of strong [Formula: see text]-ary semilattice of [Formula: see text]-ary semigroups and we show that the symmetric [Formula: see text]-ary bands are exactly the strong [Formula: see text]-ary semilattices of [Formula: see text]-ary extensions of Abelian groups whose exponents divide [Formula: see text]. Finally, we use the structure theorem to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a symmetric [Formula: see text]-ary band to be reducible to a semigroup.
