Ideals in Morita Rings and Morita Semigroups

We characterize the lattice of all ideals of a Morita ring （semigroup） when the corresponding pair of rings （semigroups） in the Morita context are Morita equivalent s-unital （like-unitv） rings （semigroups）.     

The subvariety lattice of the join of two semigroup varieties

The join A ∨ B of two semigroup varieties A and B is investigated. The latrine of subvarieties of A ∨ B is completely described, It is shown that this lattice is finite and non-modular and that all varieties in it are finitely based and finitely generated.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>-orthodox semigroups

As a generalization of an orthodox semigroup in the class of regular semigroups, a type W semigroup was first investigated by El-Qallali and Fountain. As an analogy of the type W semigroups in the class of abundant semigroups, we introduce the U-orthodox semigroups. It is shown that the maximum congruence μ contained in on U-orthodox semigroups can be determined. As a consequence, we show that a U-orthodox semigroup S can be expressed by the spined product of a Hall semigroup W _U and a V-ample semigroup (T,V). This theorem not only generalizes a known result of Hall-Yamada for orthodox semigroups but also generalizes another known result of El-Qallali and Fountain for type W semigroups.

The lattice generated by some subvarieties of completely regular semigroups

Using a construction theorem of cryptogroups and congruence methods, we determine an 18-element lattice, generated by {NOBG, ROBG, OBG, NBA, RBA, BA}, of subvarieties of completely regular semigroups. This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 10871161) and the Research Foundations for Doctor Programme of Southwest University (Grant Nos.

Varieties and Nilpotent Extensions of Permutative Periodic Semigroups

We investigate certain semigroup varieties formed by nilpotent extensions of orthodox normal bands of commutative periodic groups. Such semigroups are shown to be both structurally periodic and structurally commutative, and are therefore structurally inverse semigroups. Such semigroups are also shown to be dense semilattices of structurally group semigroups. Making use of these structure decompositions, we prove that the subvariety lattice of any variety comprised of such semigroups is isomorphic to the direct product of the following three sublattices: its sublattice of all structurally trivial semigroup varieties, its sublattice of all semilattice varieties, and its sublattice of all group varieties. We conclude, therefore, that to completely describe this lattice, we must first describe completely the lattice of all structurally trivial semigroup varieties, since the other two are well known lattices.     

Various notions of weak injectivity over Clifford semigroups

We study various notions of weak injectivity of acts over a Clifford semigroup. In addition we characterize weak self-injectivities of several classes of Clifford semigroups constructed via particular kinds of groups and group homomorphisms. Research of X.

Abundant semigroups with a multiplicative quasi-adequate transversal

The concept of quasi-adequate transversals is introduced. Some properties and characterizations for abundant semigroups with a multiplicative quasi-adequate transversal are obtained. In particular, a structure theorem for such abundant semigroups is given. Finally, some special cases are considered. This research was partially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 10571077) and the Natural Science Foundation of Gansu Province (No. 3ZS052-A25-017).     

The structure of zero-divisor semigroups with graph K n ○K 2

Shades of orthodoxy in Rees-Sushkevich varieties

It is shown that, within the class of Rees-Sushkevich varieties that are generated by completely (0-) simple semigroups over groups of exponent dividing n, there is a hierarchy of varieties determined by the lengths of the products of idempotents that will, if they fall into a group ℋ-class, be idempotent. Moreover, the lattice of varieties generated by completely (0-) simple semigroups over groups of exponent dividing n, with the property that all products of idempotents that fall into group ℋ-classes are idempotent, is shown to be isomorphic to the direct product of the lattice of varieties of groups with exponent dividing n and the lattice of exact subvarieties of a variety generated by a certain five element completely 0-simple semigroup.     

Filters in (Quasiordered) Semigroups and Lattices of Filters

A filter in a semigroup is a subsemigroup whose complement is an ideal. (Alternatively, in a quasiordered semigroup, a slightly more general definition can be given.) We prove a number of results related to filters in a semigroup and the lattice of filters of a semigroup. For instance, we prove that every complete algebraic lattice can be the lattice of filters of a semigroup. We prove that every finite semigroup is a homomorphic image of a finite semigroup whose lattice of filters is boolean and which belongs to the pseudovariety generated by the original semigroup. We describe filter lattices of some well-known semigroups such as full transformation semigroups of finite sets (which are three-element chains) and free semigroups (which are boolean).     

On the structure of subsets of a vector lattice that are closed with respect to addition

The structure of additive semigroups generated by finite sets of n -dimensional vectors with positive integral coordinates is investigated. It is proved that each such semigroup contains a sub-semigroup isomorphic to a convex hull (in the lattice) of this semigroup.Translated from Ukrainskii Geometricheskii Sbornik, No. 35, pp. 99–103, 1992.     

The lattice of idempotent distributive semiring varieties

A solution is given for the word problem for free idempotent distributive semirings. Using this solution the latticeL (ID) of subvarieties of the variety ID of idempotent distributive semirings is determined. It turns out thatL (ID) is isomorphic to the direct product of a four-element lattice and a lattice which is itself a subdirect product of four copies of the latticeL(B) of all band varieties. ThereforeL(ID) is countably infinite and distributive. Every subvariety of ID is finitely based.

The Weierstrass semigroup of a pair and moduli inM 3

We classify all the Weierstrass semigroups of a pair of points on a curve of genus 3, by using its canonical model in the plane. Moreover, we count the dimension of the moduli of curves which have a pair of points with a specified Weierstrass semigroup.This work has been supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (Project No. 976-0100-001-2).

Contraction Integrated Semigroups and Their Application to Continuous-time Markov Chains

We introduce the notion of the contraction integrated semigroups and give the Lumer-Phillips characterization of the generator, and also the charaterazied generators of isometric integrated semigroups. For their application, a necessary and sufficient condition for q-matrices Q generating a contraction integrated semigroup is given, and a necessary and sufficient condition for a transition function to be a Feller-Reuter-Riley transition function is also given in terms of its q-matrix.     

Tolerance relations on eventually regular semigroups

A semigroup is called eventually regular if a power of each element is regular. Regular and group-bound semigroups are each eventually regular. A tolerance relation on an eventually regular semigroup is introduced, and Lallement's result for regular semigroups is generalized to eventually regular semigroups. Weakly compatible tolerances on semigroups are studied. This research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation of Qufu Normal University. The author wishes to thank T. E. Hall for his comments and help in preparing this paper for publication.     

A fluctuation type limit theorem for Jiřina processes with immigration

It is proved by the theory of semigroup that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process with jumps can arise from the fluctuation limit of a sequence of Jirina processes with immigration under suitable moments conditions.     

Proofs of definability of some varieties and sets of varieties of semigroups

We show that many important varieties and sets of varieties of semigroups may be defined by relatively simple and transparent first-order formulas in the lattice of all semigroup varieties.
