Orthodox semigroups whose idempotents satisfy a certain identity

An orthodox semigroup S is called a left [right] inverse semigroup if the set of idempotents of S satisfies the identity xyx=xy [xyx=yx]. Bisimple left [right] inverse semigroups have been studied by Venkatesan [6]. In this paper, we clarify the structure of general left [right] inverse semigroups. Further, we also investigate the structure of orthodox semigroups whose idempotents satisfy the identity xyxzx=xyzx. In particular, it is shown that the set of idempotents of an orthodox semigroup S satisfies xyxzx=xyzx if and only if S is isomorphic to a subdirect product of a left inverse semigroup and a right inverse semigroup.     

Finite Proper covers in a class of finite semigroups with commuting idempotents

Weakly left ample semigroups are a class of semigroups that are (2,1)-subalgebras of semigroups of partial transformations, where the unary operation takes a transformation α to the identity map in the domain of α. It is known that there is a class of proper weakly left ample semigroups whose structure is determined by unipotent monoids acting on semilattices or categories. In this paper we show that for every finite weakly left ample semigroup S, there is a finite proper weakly left ample semigroup ? and an onto morphism from ? to S which separates idempotents. In fact, ? is actually a (2,1)-subalgebra of a symmetric inverse semigroup, that is, it is a left ample semigroup (formerly, left type A).     

The Congruences on a Transformation Semigroup Determined by a Regular Cardinal

In a recent paper, the author generalised most of the resultspublished during the last three decades concerning congruenceson certain transformation semigroups and their use in constructingcongruence free semigroups. One result by Howie in 1981 involvesa transformation semigroup defined on an infinite set whosecardinal is regular, and as such it could not be included inthe generalisation. In this paper, we detrmine all the congruenceson that transformation semigroup.     

The Lattice of Full Subsemigroups of an Inverse Semigroup

In this paper, we consider the lattice Subf S of full subsemigroups of an inverse semigroup S. Our first main theorem states that for any inverse semigroup S, Subf S is a subdirect product of the lattices of full subsemigroups of its principal factors, so that Subf S is distributive [meet semidistributive, join semidistributive, modular, semimodular] if and only if the lattice of full subsemigroups of each principal factor is. To examine such inverse semigroups, therefore, we need essentially only consider those which are 0-simple. For a 0-simple inverse semigroup S (not a group with zero), we show that in fact each of modularity, meet semidistributivity and join semidistributivity of Subf S is equivalent to distributivity of S, that is, S is the combinatorial Brandt semigroup with exactly two nonzero idempotents and two nonidempotents. About semimodularity, however, we concentrate only on the completely 0-simple case, that is, Brandt semigroups. For a Brandt semigroup S (not a group with zero), semimodularity of Subf S is equivalent to distributivity of Subf S. Finally, we characterize an inverse semigroup S for which Subf S is a chain.

Toposes for semigroups: an invitation

This is an expository paper in which we explain the basic ideas of topos theory in connection with semigroup theory. We focus mainly on the classifying topos of an inverse semigroup or pseudogroup, and to some extent on creating a dictionary between the language of semigroups and topos theory. We begin with the algebraic theory having to do with inverse semigroups, and then turn to an analysis of pseudogroups using sheaf theory. Our work includes some new material on wide semigroup homomorphisms and their geometric morphisms.

     

Embedding inverse semigroups in coset semigroups

The setK(G) of all cosets X of a group G, modulo all subgroups of G, forms an inverse semigroup under the multiplication X*Y=smallest coset that constains XY. In this note we show that each inverse semigroup S can be embedded in some coset semigroupK(G). This follows from a result which shows that symmetric inverse semigroups can be embedded in the coset semigroups of suitable symmetric groups. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions on an inverse semigroup S in order that it should be isomorphic to someK(G). This research was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.     

右型A半群的F-覆盖

A right adequate semigroup of type F is defined as a right adequate semigroup which is an F-rpp semigroup. A right adequate semigroup T of type F is called an F-cover for a right type-A semigroup S if S is the image of T under an L＊-homomorphism. In this paper, we will prove that any right type-A monoid has F-covers and then establish the structure of F-covers for a given right type-A monoid. Our results extend and enrich the related results for inverse semigroups.     

Semilattices of bisimple inverse semigroups

The purpose of this paper is to give a structure for a semigroup which is a semilattice of bisimple inverse semigroups and satisfies certain conditions. For such a semigroup, we characterize the idempotent separating congruences.

The variety of unary semigroups with associate inverse subsemigroup

In Billhardt et al. (Semigroup Forum 79:101–118, 2009) the authors introduced the notion of an associate inverse subsemigroup of a regular semigroup, extending the concept of an associate subgroup of a regular semigroup, first presented in Blyth et al. (Glasg. Math. J. 36:163–171, 1994). The semigroups of these two classes admit axiomatic characterisations in terms of unary operations and can, therefore, be considered as unary semigroups. In this paper we introduce the notion of unary semigroup with associate inverse subsemigroup [with associate subgroup] and show that the classes of such unary semigroups form varieties.     

Naturally ordered regular semigroups with an inverse monoid transversal

The notion of an inverse transversal of a regular semigroup is well-known. Here we investigate naturally ordered regular semigroups that have an inverse transversal. Such semigroups are necessarily locally inverse and the inverse transversal is a quasi-ideal. After considering various general properties that relate the imposed order to the natural order, we highlight the situation in which the inverse transversal is a monoid. The regularity of Green’s relations is also characterised. Finally, we determine the structure of a naturally ordered regular semigroup with an inverse monoid transversal.     

Johnson pseudo-contractibility of certain semigroup algebras

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.

Inverse semigroups determined by their lattices of convex inverse subsemigroups I

Every inverse semigroup possesses a natural partial order and therefore convexity with respect to this order is of interest. We study the extent to which an inverse semigroup is determined by its lattice of convex inverse subsemigroups; that is, if the lattices of two inverse semigroups are isomorphic, how are the semigroups related? We solve this problem completely for semilattices and for inverse semigroups in general reduce it to the case where the lattice isomorphism induces an isomorphism between the semilattices of idempotents of the semigroups. For many inverse semigroups, such as the monogenic ones, this case is the only one that can occur. In Part II, a study of the reduced case enables us to prove that many inverse semigroups, such as the free ones, are strictly determined by their lattices of convex inverse subsemigroups, and to show that the answer obtained here for semilattices can be extended to a broad class of inverse semigroups, including all finite, aperiodic ones.

Morita equivalence of semigroups with local units

We prove that two semigroups with local units are Morita equivalent if and only if they have a joint enlargement. This approach to Morita theory provides a natural framework for understanding McAlister’s theory of the local structure of regular semigroups. In particular, we prove that a semigroup with local units is Morita equivalent to an inverse semigroup precisely when it is a regular locally inverse semigroup.
