Abstract

A classical construction assigns to any language its (ordered) syntactic monoid. Recently the author defined the so-called syntactic semiring of a language. We discuss here the relationships between those two structures. Pin's refinement of Eilenberg theorem gives a one-to-one correspondence between positive varieties of rational languages and pseudovarieties of ordered monoids. The author's modification uses so-called conjunctive varieties of rational languages and pseudovarieties of idempotent semirings. We present here also several examples of our varieties of languages.
