Abstract

We study a variety of Burnside ai-semirings satisfying \(x^n\approx x\). It is shown that the multiplicative semigroup of each member of such a variety is a regular orthocryptogroup. As an application, a model of the free object in such a variety is given. Also, some subvarieties of such a variety are characterized. Thus some results obtained respectively by Ghosh et al. (Order 22:109–128, 2005) and Pastijn and Zhao (Algebra Universalis 54:301–321, 2005) are generalized and extended.
