A universal algebra A is said to have the basis property (BP) if any two minimal generating sets (bases) for a subalgebra of A have the same cardinality. This property was studied by the author for inverse semigroups in [5, 6]. For instance free inverse semigroups have BP. When treated as universal algebras, a classical theorem of linear algebra states that vector spaces have BP. In this paper we study BP for semigroups.
