The full transformation semigroups \(\mathcal {T}_{n} \) , where \(n\in {\mathbb {N}}\) , consisting of all maps from a set of cardinality n to itself, are arguably the most important family of finite semigroups. This article investigates the endomorphism monoid \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) of \(\mathcal {T}_{n} \) . The determination of the elements of \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) is due Schein and Teclezghi. Surprisingly, the algebraic structure of \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) has not been further explored. We describe Green’s relations and extended Green’s relations on \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) , and the generalised regularity properties of these monoids. In particular, we prove that \(\mathop {\mathscr {H} } =\mathop {\mathscr {L} } \subseteq \mathop {\mathscr {R} } =\mathop {\mathscr {D} } =\mathop {\mathscr {J} } \) (with equality if and only if \(n=1\) ); the idempotents of \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) form a band (which is equal to \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) if and only if \(n=1\) ) and also the regular elements of \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) form a subsemigroup (which is equal to \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) if and only if \(n\le 2\) ). Further, the regular elements of \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) are precisely the idempotents together with all endomorphisms of rank greater than 3. We also provide a presentation for \(\textrm{End}(\mathcal {T}_{n}) \) with respect to a minimal generating set.
