Abstract:
Semirings with commutative idempotent multiplication in which the identity $$x+2xy=x$$ holds are studied. Such semirings form a variety of semirings containing all Boolean rings and all distributive lattices. Various characterizations of these semirings are obtained and the lattices of congruences on them are considered. Examples are given and explaining comments are made.
Keywords:multiplicatively idempotent semiring, commutativity, identity $x+2xy=x$, distributive lattice, Boolean ring, lattice of ideals, lattice of congruences.
