On structure of the semigroups of k-linked upfamilies on groups

Given a group [Formula: see text], we study right and left zeros, idempotents, the minimal ideal, left cancelable and right cancelable elements of the semigroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]-linked upfamilies and characterize groups [Formula: see text] whose extensions [Formula: see text] are commutative. We finish the paper with the complete description of the structure of the semigroups [Formula: see text] for all groups [Formula: see text] of cardinality [Formula: see text].
