The pseudovariety decomposition conjecture for partial order-preserving permutations

Let PODIn\mathcal{PODI}_n be the monoid of partial order-preserving or order-reversing permutations, let POIn\mathcal{POI}_n be the monoid of partial order-preserving permutations, and let C2\mathcal{C}_2 be the cyclic group of order two. Write \pvPODI\pv{PODI} and \pvPOI\pv{POI} for the pseudovarieties generated by the monoids PODIn\mathcal{PODI}_n and POIn\mathcal{POI}_n, respectively, and let \pvAb2\pv{Ab_2} denote the pseudovariety generated by the groups C2\mathcal{C}_2. The notation  ⁣ ⁣\!\rtimes\! denotes the bilateral semidirect product of pseudovarieties. Pseudovariety decomposition conjecture.

\pvPODI=\pvPOI ⁣ ⁣\pvAb2.\pv{PODI}=\pv{POI}\!\rtimes\!\pv{Ab_2}.

The preceding results establish the corresponding inclusion in one direction and show that each finite monoid POIn ⁣ ⁣C2\mathcal{POI}_n\!\rtimes\!\mathcal{C}_2 belongs to \pvPODI\pv{PODI}; the conjecture asserts equality of the resulting pseudovarieties.
