%0 Journal Article %T On periodic points of free inverse monoid endomorphisms %A Emanuele Rodaro %A Pedro V. Silva %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1142/S0218196713500446 %X It is proved that the periodic point submonoid of a free inverse monoid endomorphism is always finitely generated. Using Chomsky's hierarchy of languages, we prove that the fixed point submonoid of an endomorphism of a free inverse monoid can be represented by a context-sensitive language but, in general, it cannot be represented by a context-free language. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.4284v1
