The binary products of right, left or double division in semigroups that are semilattices of groups give interesting groupoid structures that are in one to one correspondence with semigroups that are semilattices of groups. This work is…

We call a subset $A$ of the (additive) abelian group $G$ {\it $t$-independent} if for all non-negative integers $h$ and $k$ with $h+k \leq t$, the sum of $h$ (not necessarily distinct) elements of $A$ does not equal the sum of $k$ (not…

Let G be a group. The intersection graph G(G) of G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of G; and there is an edge between two distinct…

We identify a subcategory of biracks which define counting invariants of unoriented links, which we call involutory biracks. In particular, involutory biracks of birack rank N=1 are biquandles, which we call bikei. We define counting…

This is an account of the theory of inverse semigroups, assuming only that the reader knows the basics of semigroup theory.

An $n$-ary operation $Q:S^n -> S$ is called an $n$-ary quasigroup of order $|S|$ if in the equation $x_{0}=Q(x_1,...,x_n)$ knowledge of any $n$ elements of $x_0$, ..., $x_n$ uniquely specifies the remaining one. $Q$ is permutably reducible…

A linear group is called unisingular if every element of it has eigenvalue 1. A certain aspect of the theory of abelian varieties requires the knowledge of unisingular irreducible subgroups of the symplectic groups over the field of two…

In this article, we first describe all nonempty sets of integers S with the property that for all n and m in S, not necessarily distinct, the set {n-m,n+m} intersected with S consists of a single element. These are the sets with at most two…

We show how to decompose any density matrix of the simplest binary composite systems, whether separable or not, in terms of only product vectors. We determine for all cases the minimal number of product vectors needed for such a…

This contains a new version of the so-called non-commutative Gauss algorithm for polycyclic groups. Its results allow to read off the order and the index of a subgroup in an (possibly infinite) polycyclic group.

In this work, the notion of a quantum inverse semigroup is introduced as a linearized generalization of inverse semigroups. Beyond the algebra of an inverse semigroup, which is the natural example of a quantum inverse semigroup, several…

For an inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E and a minimal idempotent, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Fourier algebra A(S) to be module amenable, module character amenable, module (operator) biflat, or…

A group G is almost cyclic if there is an element x in G, such that for all g in G, there is an element y in G and an integer n with ygy^{-1} = x^n (that is, every element is conjugate to some power of x). W. Ziller asked whether there are…

Given a surjective ring homomorphism, we study when the induced group homomorphism on unit groups is surjective. To this end, we introduce notions of generalized inverses and units, as well as a class of rings such that the set of closed…

The concept of a k-translatable groupoid is explored in depth. Some properties of idempotent k-translatable groupoids, left cancellative k-translatable groupoids and left unitary k-translatable groupoids are proved. Necessary and sufficient…

If $S$ is a discrete semigroup, then $\beta S$ has a natural, left-topological semigroup structure extending $S$. Under some very mild conditions, $U(S)$, the set of uniform ultrafilters on $S$, is a two-sided ideal of $\beta S$, and…

In this note we present a characterisation of all unary and binary patterns that do not only contain variables, but also reversals of their instances. These types of variables were studied recently in either more general or particular…

Let $S$ be a $*$-semigroup and let $a,w,v\in S$. The initial goal of this work is to introduce two new classes of generalized inverses, called the $w$-core inverse and the dual $v$-core inverse in $S$. An element $a\in S$ is $w$-core…

A 2-group is a `categorified' version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map m: G x G -> G has been replaced by a functor. A number of precise definitions of this notion have…

An ordered semigroup $S$ is right $\pi$-inverse if it is $\pi$-inverse but not conversely. So the question arises under what condition the converse holds. In this paper we study nil-extensions of simple and right $\pi$-inverse ordered…
