Abstract
Let A be a ring with identity. The generalized affine transformation
monoid Gaff(A) is defined as the set of all
transformations on A of the form x↦xu+a
(for all x∈A), where u,a∈A. We study the algebraic
structure of the monoid Gaff(A) on a finite Galois ring A. The following results are obtained: an explicit description
of Green's relations on Gaff(A); and an explicit description of the Schützenberger group of every 𝒟-class, which is shown to be isomorphic to the affine
transformation group for a smaller Galois ring.
