- Abstract
Let T(X) (resp. L(V)) be the semigroup of all transformations (resp. linear transformations) of a set X (resp. vector space V). For a subset Y of X and a subsemigroup S (Y) of T(Y), consider the subsemigroup T S (Y) (X) = { f ∈ T (X) : f ↾ Y ∈ S (Y) } of T(X), where f ↾ Y ∈ T (Y) agrees with f on Y. We give a new characterization for T S (Y) (X) to be a regular semigroup [inverse semigroup]. For a subspace W of V and a subsemigroup S (W) of L(W), we define an analogous subsemigroup L S (W) (V) = { f ∈ L (V) : f ↾ W ∈ S (W) } of L(V). We describe regular elements in L S (W) (V) and determine when L S (W) (V) is a regular semigroup [inverse semigroup, completely regular semigroup]. If S (Y) (resp. S (W) ) contains the identity of T(Y) (resp. L(W)), we describe unit-regular elements in T S (Y) (X) (resp. L S (W) (V) ) and determine when T S (Y) (X) (resp. L S (W) (V) ) is a unit-regular semigroup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given a set-theoretical solution of the pentagon equation s : S × S → S × S on a set S and writing s (a , b) = (a · b , θ a (b)) , with · a binary operation on S and θ a a map from S into itself, for every a ∈ S , one naturally obtains that S , · is a semigroup. In this paper, we focus on solutions defined in Clifford semigroups S , · satisfying special properties on the set of all idempotents E (S) . Into the specific, we provide a complete description of idempotent-invariant solutions, namely, those solutions for which θ a remains invariant in E (S) , for every a ∈ S . Moreover, we construct a family of idempotent-fixed solutions, i.e., those solutions for which θ a fixes every element in E (S) for every a ∈ S , from solutions given on each maximal subgroup of S.

Constructing concrete examples of certain semigroups could help in implementing algorithms optimized for the users. We give concrete examples of certain finitely presented semigroups, namely Sp,n. Both computational and theoretical approaches are used for studying their structural properties to show that they are quasi-commutative and inverse semigroups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Submodules of normalisers in groupoid C*-algebras and discrete group coactions.
- Author

Komura, Fuyuta
- Abstract
In this paper, we investigate certain submodules in C*-algebras associated to effective étale groupoids. First, we show that a submodule generated by normalizers is a closure of the set of compactly supported continuous functions on some open set. As a corollary, we show that discrete group coactions on groupoid C*-algebras are induced by cocycles of étale groupoids if the fixed point algebras contain C*-subalgebras of continuous functions vanishing at infinity on the unit spaces. In the latter part, we prove the Galois correspondence result for discrete group coactions on groupoid C*-algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For a one-to-one partial mapping on an infinite set, we present a criterion in terms of its cycle-chain decomposition that the inverse subsemigroup generated by this mapping is monogenic free inverse. We also give a sufficient condition for a regular rooted tree partial automorphism to extend to a partial automorphism of another regular rooted tree so that the inverse semigroup generated by this extended partial automorphism is monogenic free inverse. The extension procedure we develop is then applied to n-ary adding machines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fikioris, George and Fikioris, Giannis
- Abstract
A recent paper studied an inverse submonoid M n of the rook monoid, by representing the nonzero elements of M n via certain triplets belonging to Z 3 . In this note, we allow the triplets to belong to R 3 . We thus study a new inverse monoid M ¯ n , which is a supermonoid of M n . We point out similarities and find essential differences. We show that M ¯ n is a noncommutative, periodic, combinatorial, fundamental, completely semisimple, and strongly E ∗ -unitary inverse monoid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the computational complexity of various decision problems related to conjugacy in finite inverse semigroups. We describe deterministic algorithms requiring logarithmic space for checking if two elements are conjugate in the full inverse semigroup with respect to various notions of conjugacy. We prove the following two problems are PSPACE -complete: given generators for an inverse semigroup, (1) whether the generated semigroup contains a given idempotent and (2) whether two given elements are ∼ i conjugate in the generated semigroup. We show that checking if an inverse monoid is factorizable is in NC and is NL -hard. We prove that the following problems are all NL -complete: given generators for a partial bijection semigroup, whether the group (1) is nilpotent, (2) is R -trivial, and (3) has central idempotents. We prove that the problem of checking zero membership in a partial bijection semigroup given by generators is L -complete. We also extend several complexity results for partial bijection semigroups to inverse semigroups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Computational semigroup theory is an area of research that is subject to growing interest. The development of semigroup algorithms allows for new theoretical results to be discovered, which in turn informs the creation of yet more algorithms. Groups have benefitted from this cycle since before the invention of electronic computers, and the popularity of computational group theory has resulted in a rich and detailed literature. Computational semigroup theory is a less developed field, but recent work has resulted in a variety of algorithms, and some important pieces of software such as the Semigroups package for GAP. Congruences are an important part of semigroup theory. A semigroup's congruences determine its homomorphic images in a manner analogous to a group's normal subgroups. Prior to the work described here, there existed few practical algorithms for computing with semigroup congruences. However, a number of results about alternative representations for congruences, as well as existing algorithms that can be borrowed from group theory, make congruences a fertile area for improvement. In this thesis, we first consider computational techniques that can be applied to the study of congruences, and then present some results that have been produced or precipitated by applying these techniques to interesting examples. After some preliminary theory, we present a new parallel approach to computing with congruences specified by generating pairs. We then consider alternative ways of representing a congruence, using intermediate objects such as linked triples. We also present an algorithm for computing the entire congruence lattice of a finite semigroup. In the second part of the thesis, we classify the congruences of several monoids of bipartitions, as well as the principal factors of several monoids of partial transformations. Finally, we consider how many congruences a finite semigroup can have, and examine those on semigroups with up to seven elements.

We consider HNN extensions S * = [ S ; U 1 , U 2 ; ϕ ] where U
1 and U2 are inverse monoids of an inverse semigroup S such that, for any u ∈ U i and e ∈ E (S) with u ≥ e in S, there exists f ∈ E (U i) with u ≥ f ≥ e in S, for i ∈ { 1 , 2 } ; we say that U1 and U2 are lower bounded in S. We construct and describe the Schützenberger automata of S * and give conditions for S * to have decidable word problem. Homomorphisms of the Schützenberger graphs of S * are studied and conditions are given for S * to be completely semisimple. When S has decidable word problem and U1 and U2 are finite, we show that S * has decidable word problem. The class of HNN extensions considered here is surprisingly useful and generalizes the class introduced by Jajcayová. A future paper intends to show that any HNN extension of an inverse semigroup can be embedded into an HNN extension where the subsemigroups are lower bounded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

We define a subsemigroup S n of the rook monoid R n and investigate its properties. To do this, we represent the nonzero elements of S n (which are n × n matrices) via certain triplets of integers, and develop a closed-form expression representing the product of two elements; these tools facilitate straightforward deductions of a great number of properties. For example, we show that S n consists solely of idempotents and nilpotents, find the numbers of idempotents and nilpotents, compute nilpotency indexes, determine Green's relations and ideals, and come up with a minimal generating set. Furthermore, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the jth root of a nonzero element to exist in S n , show that existence implies uniqueness, and compute the said root explicitly. We also point to several combinatorial aspects; describe a number of subsemigroups of S n (some of which are familiar from previous studies); and, using rook n-diagrams, graphically interpret many of our results.

Komura, Fuyuta
- Abstract
For a given inverse semigroup action on a topological space, one can associate an étale groupoid. We prove that there exists a correspondence between the certain subsemigroups and the open wide subgroupoids in case that the action is strongly tight. Combining with the recent result of Brown et al., we obtain a correspondence between the certain subsemigroups of an inverse semigroup and the Cartan intermediate subalgebras of a groupoid C*-algebra.

In this study we continue an investigation of the notion of module approximate amenability of a Banach algebra A which is a module over another Banach algebra A. In fact we introduce the class of module boundedly approximately amenable Banach algebras (m.b.app.am.) . It is shown that the class of module boundedly approximately amenable Banach algebra is different from the class of amenable Banach algebras. Also, we show that for an inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotent E, l¹ (S) is module boundedly approximately amenable as l¹ (E)-module if and only if S is amenable. Further examples are given of l¹ -semigroup Banach algebras which are module boundedly approximately amenable but are not amenable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We provide a close analysis of the connections between pseudogroups, groupoids, and toposes. This analysis provides a topos perspective on both the localic germ groupoid of a pseudogroup defined by Resende, and the topological groupoid of a pseudogroup defined by Lawson and Lenz. In particular, we show how to analyze the topos of a pseudogroup using sheaf theory, leading to an examination of pseudogroup torsors. Consequently we obtain a concrete description of the category of points of an étendue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ANALOGY , *DEFINITIONS - Abstract
We take advantage of the correspondence between pseudogroups and inverse quantal frames, and of the recent description of Morita equivalence for inverse quantal frames in terms of biprincipal bisheaves, to define Morita equivalence for pseudogroups and to investigate its applications. In particular, two pseudogroups are Morita equivalent if and only if their corresponding localic étale groupoids are. We explore the clear analogies between our definition of Morita equivalence for pseudogroups and the usual notion of strong Morita equivalence for C ⁎ -algebras and these lead to a number of concrete results.

Given any amalgam [ S 1 , S 2 ; U ] of inverse semigroups, we show how to construct an amalgam [ T 1 , T 2 ; Z ] such that S 1 ∗ U S 2 is embedded into T 1 ∗ Z T 2 , where S 1 ⊆ T 1 , S 2 ⊆ T 2 , S 1 ∩ Z = S 2 ∩ Z = U and, for any z ∈ Z and h ∈ E (T i) with z ≥ h in T i , where i ∈ { 1 , 2 } , there exists f ∈ E (Z) with z ≥ f ≥ h in T i ; that is, Z is a lower bounded subsemigroup of T 1 and T 2 . A recent paper by the author describes the Schützenberger automata of T 1 ∗ Z T 2 , for an amalgam [ T 1 , T 2 ; Z ] where Z is lower bounded in T 1 and T 2 , giving conditions for T 1 ∗ Z T 2 to have decidable word problem. Thus we can study S 1 ∗ U S 2 by considering T 1 ∗ Z T 2 . As an example, we generalize results by Cherubini, Jajcayová, Meakin, Piochi and Rodaro on amalgams of finite inverse semigroups.

Two semigroups are lattice isomorphic if the lattices of their subsemi-groups are isomorphic, and a class of semigroups is lattice closed if it contains every semigroup which is lattice isomorphic to some semigroup from that class. An orthodox semigroup is a regular semigroup whose idempotents form a sub-semigroup. We prove that the class of all orthodox semigroups in which every nonidempotent element has infinite order is lattice closed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

YANG-Baxter equation , *INVERSE problems - Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to provide set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation that are not necessarily bijective, among these new idempotent ones. In the specific, we draw on both to the classical theory of inverse semigroups and to that of the most recently studied braces, to give a new research perspective to the open problem of finding solutions. Namely, we have recourse to a new structure, the inverse semi-brace , that is a triple (S , + , ⋅) with (S , +) a semigroup and (S , ⋅) an inverse semigroup satisfying the relation a (b + c) = a b + a (a − 1 + c) , for all a , b , c ∈ S , where a − 1 is the inverse of a in (S , ⋅). In particular, we give several constructions of inverse semi-braces which allow for obtaining new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Inverse semigroups
- Abstract
The theories of V. V. Wagner (1908-1981) on abstractions of systems of binary relations are presented here within their historical and mathematical contexts. This book contains the first translation from Russian into English of a selection of Wagner's papers, the ideas of which are connected to present-day mathematical research. Along with a translation of Wagner's main work in this area, his 1953 paper ‘Theory of generalised heaps and generalised groups,'the book also includes translations of three short precursor articles that provide additional context for his major work. Researchers and students interested in both algebra (in particular, heaps, semiheaps, generalised heaps, semigroups, and groups) and differential geometry will benefit from the techniques offered by these translations, owing to the natural connections between generalised heaps and generalised groups, and the role played by these concepts in differential geometry. This book gives examples from present-day mathematics where ideas related to Wagner's have found fruitful applications.

Given an algebraic action of a semigroup, we construct an inverse semigroup, and we characterize Hausdorffness, topological freeness, and minimality of the associated tight groupoid in terms of conditions on the initial algebraic action. We parameterize all closed invariant subspaces of the unit space of our groupoid, and characterize topological freeness of the associated reduction groupoids. We prove that our groupoids are purely infinite whenever they are minimal, which answers a general open question in the affirmative for our special class of groupoids. In the topologically free case, we prove that the concrete C*-algebra associated with the algebraic action is always a (possibly exotic) groupoid C*-algebra in the sense that it sits between the full and essential C*-algebras of our groupoid. This provides a framework for studying such concrete C*-algebras, allowing us to obtain structural results that were only previously available for very special classes of algebraic actions. For instance, we obtain results on simplicity and pure infiniteness for C*-algebras associated with subshifts over semigroups, actions coming from commutative algebra, and non-commutative rings. These results were out of reach using existing techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we develop a new groupoid-based structure theory for the class of regular ⁎-semigroups. This class occupies something of a 'sweet spot' between the important classes of inverse and regular semigroups, and contains many natural examples. Some of the most significant families include the partition, Brauer and Temperley-Lieb monoids, among other diagram monoids. Our main result is that the category of regular ⁎-semigroups is isomorphic to the category of so-called 'chained projection groupoids'. Such a groupoid is in fact a triple (P , G , ε) , where: • P is a projection algebra (in the sense of Imaoka and Jones), • G is an ordered groupoid with object set P , and • ε : C → G is a special functor, where C is a certain natural 'chain groupoid' constructed from P. Roughly speaking: the groupoid G = G (S) remembers only the 'easy' products in a regular ⁎-semigroup S ; the projection algebra P = P (S) remembers only the 'conjugation action' of the projections of S ; and the functor ε = ε (S) tells us how G and P 'fit together' in order to recover the entire structure of S. In this way, we obtain the first completely general structure theorem for regular ⁎-semigroups. As a consequence of our main result, we give a new proof of the celebrated Ehresmann–Schein–Nambooripad Theorem, which establishes an isomorphism between the categories of inverse semigroups and inductive groupoids. Other applications will be given in future works. We consider several examples along the way, and pose a number of problems that we believe are worthy of further attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

GALOIS theory - Abstract
Every Grothendieck topos has internal to it a canonical group object, called its isotropy group [Funk et al., 2012]. We continue our investigation of this group, focusing again on locally anisotropic toposes [Funk and Hofstra, 2018]. Such a topos is one admitting an 'etale cover by an anisotropic topos. We present a structural analysis of this class of toposes by showing that a topos is locally anisotropic if and only if it is equivalent to the topos of actions of a connected groupoid internal to an anisotropic topos. In particular we may conclude that a locally anisotropic topos, whence an 'etendue, has isotropy rank at most one, meaning that its isotropy quotient has trivial isotropy [Funk et al., 2018].

25. Amenable-like properties of étale groupoids
- Abstract
This thesis consists of three papers related to analytic and representation theoretic properties of étale groupoids. In the first paper, we characterize algebraically the type I and CCR property for ample groupoids and their non-commutative duals: Boolean inverse semigroups. Our results use and generalize Thoma’s work on discrete groups. Algebraic characterizations in the more general context of non-Hausdorff groupoids have been obtained in the author’s licentiate thesis. They use a non-Hausdorff version of the Clark-van Wyk topological characterization. We also characterize type I inverse semigroups using the Booleanization of inverse semigroups introduced by Lawson. The inverse semigroups of type I are characterized by excluding specific subquotients of their Booleanization. In the second paper, we show that any free action of a connected Lie group of polynomial growth on a finite dimensional locally compact space has a finite tubular dimension by constructing a tubular cover of appropriate multiplicity. As a consequence, the C*-algebras associated to the corresponding transformation groupoids all have finite nuclear dimension. The proof strategy is adapted from the strategy for R-actions of Hirshberg-Wu to the polynomial growth setting. As a corollary, we obtain that the groupoids associated to model sets in connected simply connected nilpotent Lie groups admit a classifiable C*-algebra. In the third paper, we study inner amenability for groupoids attached to irregular point sets in general second countable locally compact groups. Upon imposing a regularity condition on the point set–finite local complexity–we are able to show inner amenability of the corresponding ample groupoid. The motivation for this work is the question of Anantharaman-Delaroche asking whether all étale groupoids are inner amenable. As a motivating example, model sets arising from arithmetic lattices give inner amenable groupoids, even in non-amenable groups.

As an appropriate generalisation of the features of the classical (Schein) theory of representations of inverse semigroups in I X , a theory of representations of inverse semigroups by homomorphisms into complete atomistic inverse ∧ -semigroups is developed. This class of inverse ∧ -semigroups, otherwise known as inverse algebras, includes partial automorphism monoids of entities such as graphs, vector spaces and modules. A workable theory of decompositions is reached; however complete distributivity is required for results approaching those of the classical case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a group G , elements a and b are conjugate if there exists g ∈ G such that g − 1 a g = b. This conjugacy relation, which plays an important role in group theory, can be extended in a natural way to inverse semigroups: for elements a and b in an inverse semigroup S , a is conjugate to b , which we will write as a ∼ i b , if there exists g ∈ S 1 such that g − 1 a g = b and g b g − 1 = a. The purpose of this paper is to study the conjugacy ∼ i in several classes of inverse semigroups: symmetric inverse semigroups, McAllister P -semigroups, factorizable inverse monoids, Clifford semigroups, the bicyclic monoid, stable inverse semigroups, and free inverse semigroups.

Abstract In this paper we give some sufficient and some necessary conditions for an étale groupoid algebra to be a prime ring. As an application we recover the known primeness results for inverse semigroup algebras and Leavitt path algebras. It turns out that primeness of the algebra is connected with the dynamical property of topological transitivity of the groupoid. We obtain analogous results for semiprimeness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Inspired by results for graph C ⁎ -algebras, we investigate connections between the ideal structure of an inverse semigroup S and that of its tight C ⁎ -algebra by relating ideals in S to certain open invariant sets in the associated tight groupoid. We also develop analogues of Conditions (L) and (K) for inverse semigroups, which are related to certain congruences on S. We finish with applications to the inverse semigroups of self-similar graph actions and some relevant comments on the authors' earlier uniqueness theorems for inverse semigroups.

Inverse semigroups and completely regular semigroups share some nice properties and in a certain sense, they are the top success stories in semigroup theory. Therefore a reasonable goal is to find other classes of regular semigroups with the same nice shared properties and try to replicate the successful structure theories achieved for those two classes. Perhaps surprisingly, the semigroup literature is mute on examples of other classes of regular semigroups with the same nice properties, while semigroupists, for decades, voiced the metamathematical conviction of the hopelessness of such a goal. Our guess is that many have tried that approach, but always failed, thus unable to publish (the muteness of the literature) and convinced that the path leads to nowhere (the metamathematical conviction). The aim of this paper is to provide some mathematical content for that metamathematical conviction. In his celebrated theorem, K. Arrow wrote down the nice properties a voting system should have and then went on to prove that no system has those properties. We follow a similar path by writing down the nice common properties of inverse semigroups and of completely regular semigroups, and then show that, under some constraints, any variety having those nice properties is contained in one of the other two (if not in both). The proof of this theorem is by exhaustion: all possible varieties (under certain constraints) are written down, and each one is tested regarding the possession of the nice properties. Many pass the test, but then all of them turn out to be varieties of inverse or completely regular semigroups. This proof requires thousands of lemmas and was only possible because we used ProverX, a system aimed at playing in automated reasoning the same role GAP or MAGMA plays in symbolic computation. The paper ends with some problems for experts in semigroups, equational logic and computer science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The notion of module amenability for a class of Banach algebras, which could be considered as a generalization of Johnson's amenability, was introduced by Amini in [Module amenability for semigroup algebras, Semigroup Forum69 (2004) 243–254]. The weak module amenability of the triangular Banach algebra 𝒯 2 = A M B , where A and B are Banach algebras (with U -module structure) and M is a Banach A , B -module, is studied by Pourabbas and Nasrabadi in [Weak module amenability of triangular Banach algebras, Math. Slovaca61(6) (2011) 949–958], and they showed that the weak module amenability of 2 × 2 triangular Banach algebra 𝒯 2 (as an ℐ : = α α α ∈ U -bimodule) is equivalent with the weak module amenability of the corner algebras A and B (as Banach U -bimodules). The main aim of this paper is to investigate the module (σ , τ) -amenability and weak module (σ , τ) -amenability of the triangular Banach algebra 𝒯 of order three, where σ and τ are U -module morphisms on 𝒯. Also, we give some results for semigroup algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This generalizes a well known result of Zhong-Jin Ruan on operator amenability of the Fourier algebra of a (discrete) group Ruan (Am J Math 117:1449-1474, 1995). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract In an earlier work, the author observed that Boolean inverse semigroups, with semigroup homomorphisms preserving finite orthogonal joins, form a congruence-permutable variety of algebras, called biases. We give a full description of varieties of biases in terms of varieties of groups: (1) Every free bias is residually finite. In particular, the word problem for free biases is decidable. (2) Every proper variety of biases contains a largest finite symmetric inverse semigroup, and it is generated by its members that are monoids of generalized rook matrices over groups with zero. (3) There is an order-preserving, one-to-one correspondence between proper varieties of biases and certain finite sequences of varieties of groups, descending in a strong sense defined in terms of wreath products by finite symmetric groups.

Area law violations for entanglement entropy in the form of a square root has recently been studied for one-dimensional frustration-free quantum systems based on the Motzkin walks and their variations. Here, we further modify the Motzkin walks using the elements of a symmetric inverse semigroup as basis states on each step of the walk. This change alters the number of paths allowed in the Motzkin walks and by introducing an appropriate term in the Hamiltonian with a tunable parameter we show that we can jump from a state that violates the area law logarithmically to a state that obeys the area law providing an example of quantum phase transition in a one-dimensional system.

An inverse semigroup S is a semigroup in which every element has a unique inverse in the sense of semigroup theory, that is, if a ∈ S then there exists a unique b ∈ S such that a = a b a and b = b a b. We say that a countable inverse semigroup S is a homogeneous (inverse) semigroup if any isomorphism between finitely generated (inverse) subsemigroups of S extends to an automorphism of S. In this paper, we consider both these concepts of homogeneity for inverse semigroups, and show when they are equivalent. We also obtain certain classifications of homogeneous inverse semigroups, in particular periodic commutative inverse semigroups. Our results may be seen as extending both the classification of homogeneous semilattices and the classification of certain classes of homogeneous groups, such as homogeneous abelian groups and homogeneous finite groups.

In 1959, Philip Hall introduced the locally finite group U, today known as Hall's universal group. This group is countable, universal, simple, and any two finite isomorphic subgroups are conjugate inU. It can explicitly be described as a direct limit of finite symmetric groups. It is homogeneous in the model-theoretic sense since it is the Fraïssé limit of the class of all finite groups. Since its introduction Hall's group and several natural generalisations have been studied widely. In this article we use a generalisation of Fraïssé's theory to construct a countable, universal, locally finite semigroup T, that arises as a direct limit of finite full transformation semigroups, and has the highest possible degree of homogeneity. We prove that it is unique up to isomorphism among semigroups satisfying these properties. We prove an analogous result for inverse semigroups, constructing a maximally homogeneous universal locally finite inverse semigroup I which is a direct limit of finite symmetric inverse semigroups (semigroups of partial bijections). The semigroups T and I are the natural counterparts of Hall's universal group for semigroups and inverse semigroups, respectively. While these semigroups are not homogeneous, they still exhibit a great deal of symmetry. We study the structural features of these semigroups and locate several well-known homogeneous structures within them, such as the countable generic semilattice, the countable random bipartite graph, and Hall's group itself.

It is shown that the projection lattice of a vonNeumann algebra, or more generally every orthomodular lattice X, admits a natural embedding into a group G(X) with a lattice ordering so that G(X) determines X up to isomorphism. The embedding X → G(X) appears to be a universal (non-commutative) group-valued measure on X, while states of X turn into real-valued group homomorphisms on G(X). The existence of completions is characterized by a generalized archimedean propertywhich simultaneously applies to X and G(X). By an extension of Foulis' coordinatization theorem, the negative cone of G(X) is shown to be the initial object among generalized Baer*-semigroups. For finite X, the correspondence between X and G(X) provides a new class of Garside groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The class of weakly U-abundant semigroups is an important source of non-regular semi-groups, and it is well studied by semigroup theorists in recent years. An important subclass, called Ehresmann monoids, is deeply investigated by Branco, Gomes and Gould in 2014. In this paper, we are concerned with weakly U-abundant semigroups with strong Ehresmann transversals. Our aim is to give a structure theorem for such semigroups following the standard "Rees Theorem" type approach. As a direct application of the main result, we reobtain the structure theorem of abundant semigroups with quasi ideal adequate transversals by Chen in 2000. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work we characterize shift spaces over infinite countable alphabets that can be endowed with an inverse semigroup operation. We give sufficient conditions under which zero-dimensional inverse semigroups can be recoded as shift spaces whose correspondent inverse semigroup operation is a 1-block operation, that is, it arises from a group operation on the alphabet. Motivated by this, we go on to study block operations on shift spaces and, in the end, we prove our main theorem, which states that Markovian shift spaces, which can be endowed with a 1-block inverse semigroup operation, are conjugate to the product of a full shift with a fractal shift.

We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological 0-bisimple inverse ω-semigroups with compact maximal subgroups. In particular, we show that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological 0-bisimple inverse ω-semigroup with a compact maximal subgroup is either compact or it is a topological sum of its H-classes. We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological 0-bisimple inverse ω-semigroups with a monothetic maximal subgroups. We show the following dichotomy: a τ
1 locally compact semitopological Reilly semigroup (B(ℤ+ , ϑ)0 , τ over the additive group of integers ℤ+ , with adjoined zero and with a non-annihilating homomorphism ϑ is either compact or discrete. At the end we establish some properties of the remainder of the closure of the discrete Reilly semigroup B(ℤ+ , ϑ) in a semitopological semigroup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
