The inverse hull of the free semigroup on a set X

In this paper the inverse hull of the free semigroup on a non-empty set X is characterized. It is shown that if F^O is a certain semilattice and (G,*) is the free group on X, then is isomorphic to a Rees factor semigroup of a subsemigroup of (F^O x G, #), where (A,w)#(B,u) = ((A*w B)*w^–1, w*u). Several properties of , including Green's relations on are also determined.     

The Booleanization of an inverse semigroup

Semigroup Forum - We prove that the forgetful functor from the category of Boolean inverse semigroups to the category of inverse semigroups with zero has a left adjoint. This left adjoint is what...     

The principal bundles over an inverse semigroup

This paper is a contribution to the development of the theory of representations of inverse semigroups in toposes. It continues the work initiated by Funk and Hofstra (Theory Appl Categ 24(7):117–147, 2010). For the topos of sets, we show that torsion-free functors on Loganathan’s category L(S) of an inverse semigroup S are equivalent to a special class of non-strict representations of S, which we call connected. We show that the latter representations form a proper coreflective subcategory of the category of all non-strict representations of S. We describe the correspondence between directed and pullback preserving functors on L(S) and transitive and effective representations of S, as well as between filtered such functors and universal representations introduced by Lawson, Margolis and Steinberg. We propose a definition of a universal representation, or, equivalently, an S-torsor, of an inverse semigroup S in the topos of sheaves \({\mathsf {Sh}}(X)\) on a topological space X. We prove that the category of filtered functors from L(S) to the topos \({\mathsf {Sh}}(X)\) is equivalent to the category of universal representations of S in \({\mathsf {Sh}}(X)\). We finally propose a definition of an inverse semigroup action in an arbitrary Grothendieck topos, which arises from a functor on L(S).

The generalized translational hull of a semigroup

A generalized translational hull of a semigroup is constructed. Its relationship to (S) and Q(S) as well as its homological properties are demonstrated.     

Dense inverse subsemigroups of a topological inverse semigroup

In this paper we study dense inverse subsemigroups of topological inverse semigroups. We construct a topological inverse semigroup from a semilattice. Finally, we give two examples of the closure of B _{( −∞, ∞ )}¹, a topological inverse semigroup obtained by starting with the real numbers as a semilattice with the operation a ∨ b=sup{a,b}. The author would like to thank to the referee for useful suggestions.

The translational hull of a strongly right type-A semigroup

It is proved that the translational hull of a strongly right type-A (C-rpp) semigroup is itself a strongly right type-A(C-rpp) semigroup.     

On the translational hull of a type B semigroup

In this paper, the translational hull of a type B semigroup is considered. We prove that the translational hull of a type B semigroup is itself a type B semigroup, and give some properties and characterizations of the translational hulls of such semigroups. Moreover, we consider the translational hulls of some special type B semigroups. These results strengthen the results of Fountain and Lawson (Semigroup Forum 32:79–86, 1985) on adequate semigroups. Finally, we give a new proof of a problem posted by Petrich on translational hulls of inverse semigroups in Petrich (Inverse Semigroups, Wiley, New York, 1984).     

The centralizer near-ring of an inverse semigroup of endomorphisms of a group

Let G be a group and S an inverse semigroup of endomorphisms of G. The simplicity of the centralizer near- ring MS(G) = {fε M(G)‖foα = αo f, ?αεS} is characterized. The necessary and sufficient conditions are given for simplicity of M_s(G) in terms of the structure of G and S.     

Burnside algebra of a finite inverse semigroup

The Burnside algebra for a finite inverse semigroup over a field is considered (the analog of the Grothendieck algebra). The conditions for the algebra to be Frobenius are investigated. It is shown that, if all the subgroups in the semigroup are commutative, then its Burnside algebra is Frobenius if and only if the order of any maximal subgroup is not divisible by the square of the field characteristic.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Module operator virtual diagonals on the Fourier algebra of an inverse semigroup

For an amenable inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E and a minimal idempotent, we explicitly construct a contractive and positive module operator virtual diagonal on the Fourier algebra A(S), as a completely contractive Banach algebra and operator module over \(\ell ^1(E)\). 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).
