Associate inverse subsemigroups of regular semigroups

By an associate inverse subsemigroup of a regular semigroup S we mean a subsemigroup T of S containing a least associate of each x∈S, in relation to the natural partial order ≤ _S . We describe the structure of a regular semigroup with an associate inverse subsemigroup, satisfying two natural conditions. As a particular application, we obtain the structure of regular semigroups with an associate subgroup with medial identity element.

Representation of congruences on regular semigroups with inverse transversals

For a regular semigroup with an inverse transversal, we have Saito’s structureW(I,S ^o, Λ, *, {α, β}). We represent congruences on this kind of semigroups by the so-called congruence assemblage which consist of congruences on the structure component partsI,S ^o and Λ. The structure of images of this type of semigroups is also presented. This work is supported by Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province     

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).     

Structure globale des extensions regulieres galoisiennes

A natural characterization of known types of inverse transversal leads to the introduction of several new types, which we characterize in a similar natural way. Relations between the various types produce a general classification. We also determine for which types of inverse transversal considered the congruence extension property holds.     

INVERSE TRANSVERSALS ARE MUTUALLY ISOMORPHIC

It has been suspected for some time that if a regular semigroup S has an inverse transversal then all inverse transversals of S are isomorphic. Here we give a proof of this fact.     

On Inverse Transversals of Ordered Regular Semigroups

We first consider an ordered regular semigroup S in which every element has a biggest inverse and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the subset S ^○ of biggest inverses to be an inverse transversal of S. Such an inverse transversal is necessarily weakly multiplicative. We then investigate principally ordered regular semigroups S with the property that S ^○ is an inverse transversal. In such a semigroup we determine precisely when the set S ^☆ of biggest pre-inverses is a subsemigroup and show that in this case S ^☆ is itself an inverse transversal of a subsemigroup of S. The ordered regular semigroup of 2 × 2 boolean matrices provides an informative illustrative example. The structure of S, when S ^☆ is a group, is also described.

Congruence triples on regular semigroups and their generalizations

In this paper, we introduce the concept of VT-congruence triples on a regular semigroup S and show how such triples can be constructed by using the equivalences on S/ℒ, S/R and the special congruences on S. Also, such congruence triples are characterized so that an associated congruence can be uniquely determined by a given congruence triple. Moreover, we also consider the VH-congruence pairs on an orthocryptogroup.     

Tight inverse semigroups that are not bisimple

A semigroup is tight if each of its congruences is uniquely determined by each of the congruence classes. Bisimple inverse semigroups are tight, and tight semigroups are either simple or congruence-free with zero. Although congruence-free semigroups are tight, they are not necessarily bisimple. We construct tight inverse semigroups and tight inverse monoids that are neither bisimple nor congruence-free.

Abundant semigroups with a quasi-ideal quasi-adequate transversal

Characterization theorems for abundant sernigroups having a quasi-ideal quasi-adequate transversal are obtained. Our results generalize and amplify the related results of Satio on regular semigroup obtained in 1985 and Kong obtained in 2007 respectively. Some recent results on this topic given by Guo-Shum are strengthened. In particular, the structure of such an abundant semigroup is described.     

Filtering germs: Groupoids associated to inverse semigroups

We investigate various groupoids associated to an arbitrary inverse semigroup with zero. We show that the groupoid of filters with respect to the natural partial order is isomorphic to the groupoid of germs arising from the standard action of the inverse semigroup on the space of idempotent filters. We also investigate the restriction of this isomorphism to the groupoid of tight filters and to the groupoid of ultrafilters.

Graphs and their associated inverse semigroups

Directed graphs have long been used to gain an understanding of the structure of semigroups, and recently the structure of directed graph semigroups has been investigated resulting in a characterization theorem and an analog of Frucht’s Theorem. We investigate two inverse semigroups defined over undirected graphs constructed from the notions of subgraph and vertex set induced subgraph. We characterize the structure of the semilattice of idempotents and lattice of ideals of these inverse semigroups. We prove a characterization theorem that states that every graph has a unique associated inverse semigroup up to isomorphism allowing for an algebraic restatement of the Edge Reconstruction Conjecture.     

Soft ordered semigroups

Molodtsov introduced 1999 the concept of soft set as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties that is free from the difficulties that have troubled the usual theoretical approaches. In this paper we apply the notion of soft sets by Molodtsov to ordered semigroups. The notions of (trivial, whole) soft ordered semigroup, soft ordered subsemigroup, soft left (right) ideal, and left (right) idealistic soft ordered semigroup are introduced, and various related properties are investigated (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Split quasi-adequate semigroups

The so-called split IC quasi-adequate semigroups are in the class of idempotent-connected quasi-adequate semigroups. It is proved that an IC quasi-adequate semigroup is split if and only if it has an adequate transversal. The structure of such semigroup whose band of idempotents is regular will be particularly investigated. Our obtained results enrich those results given by McAlister and Blyth on split orthodox semigroups.
