The generalised regularity classification for matrix semigroups over semirings

Let L\mathfrak{L} be the semiring under consideration, and let Mn(L)M_n(\mathfrak{L}), UTn(L)UT_n(\mathfrak{L}), and Un(L)U_n(\mathfrak{L}) denote the corresponding matrix semigroups. The table records their generalised regularity properties according to nn:

Generalised regularity classification. The displayed classification summarises the generalised regularity properties of Mn(L)M_n(\mathfrak{L}), UTn(L)UT_n(\mathfrak{L}), and Un(L)U_n(\mathfrak{L}) in the indicated cases.

The question marks in the n=3n=3 entries indicate that those classifications are tentative rather than established assertions. Since the source presents this as a summary with unresolved entries, the precise status of the tentative cases should be checked against the paper's surrounding discussion.
