Inspired by that terminology, we use the notation $M(S)$ (the magma of S) to denote the set of all binary operations on the set S (i.e. all magmas with underlying set S.) In [1], distributivity hierarchy graphs of a set are introduced. Given a set S, its hierarchy graph has M(S) as vertices and there is an edge from one operation, $\ast$, to another one, $\circ$, if $\ast$ distributes over $\circ$ . Given ∗$\in$ M(S), the set $ \text{out}(\ast) = \{\circ \in M(S)|\ast \text{distributes over} \circ \}$ is called the outset of $\ast$. We define an operation that make M(S) a monoid in such a way that each outset is a submonoid. This endowment gives us a possibility to compare the various elements of M(S) with respect to the monoid structure of their outsets. Various properties of the operation mentioned above are considered, including multiple additive structures on M(S) that have it as the multiplicative part of a nearring.

Title: Algebraic structures on the set of all Binary Operations over a fixed set

Speaker: Isaac Owusu-Mensah (Ohio University)
