We study the following inverse graph-theoretic problem: how many vertices should a graph have given that it has a specified value of some parameter. We obtain asymptotic for the minimal number of vertices of the graph with the given number…
We study the geometry of algebraic monoids. We prove that the group of invertible elements of an irreducible algebraic monoid is an algebraic group, open in the monoid. Moreover, if this group is reductive, then the monoid is affine. We…
We initiate the study of expansions of monoids in the class of two-sided restriction monoids and show that generalizations of the Birget-Rhodes prefix group expansion, despite the absence of involution, have rich structure close to that of…
We show that a nontrivial graph isomorphism problem of two undirected graphs, and more generally, the permutation similarity of two given $n\times n$ matrices, is equivalent to equalities of volumes of the induced three convex bounded…
Let $n$ be any positive integer and $\mathscr{I\!\!P\!F}(\mathbb{N}^n)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the $n$-th power of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ with the product order. We study…
Consider the following generalization of the bicyclic monoid. Let $\kappa$ be any infinite cardinal and let $\mathcal{IP\!F}\left(\sigma{\mathbb{N}^\kappa}\right)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the…
The goal of this paper is to prove coherence results with respect to relational graphs for monoidal monads and comonads, i.e. monads and comonads in a monoidal category such that the endofunctor of the monad or comonad is a monoidal functor…
A presentation by generators and relations of the $n$th symmetric power $B$ of a commutative algebra $A$ over a field of characteristic zero or greater than $n$ is given. This is applied to get information on a minimal homogeneous…
A monoid $M$ is said to be surjunctive if every injective cellular automaton with finite alphabet over $M$ is surjective. We show that monoid algebras of surjunctive monoids are stably finite. In other words, given any field $K$ and any…
The complex algebra of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents in each $\mathcal D$-class is stably finite by a result of Munn. This can be proved fairly easily using $C^*$-algebras for inverse semigroups satisfying this…
In this note we consider the monoid $\mathcal{PODI}_n$ of all monotone partial permutations on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and its submonoids $\mathcal{DP}_n$, $\mathcal{POI}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODP}_n$ of all partial isometries, of all order-preserving…
We consider the alternating sign matrices of the odd order that have some kind of central symmetry. Namely, we deal with matrices invariant under the half-turn, quarter-turn and flips in both diagonals. In all these cases, there are two…
In this paper, we characterize the monoid of endomorphisms of the semigroup of all monotone full transformations of a finite chain, as well as the monoids of endomorphisms of the semigroup of all monotone partial transformations and of the…
A numerical monoid is an additive submonoid of the non-negative integers. Given a numerical monoid $S$, consider the family of "shifted" monoids $M_n$ obtained by adding $n$ to each generator of $S$. In this paper, we characterize the…
Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…
A coherent presentation of an n-category is a presentation by generators, relations and relations among relations. Confluent and terminating rewriting systems generate coherent presentations, whose relations among relations are defined by…
A spherical n-gon is a bordered surface homeomorphic to a closed disk, with n distinguished boundary points called corners, equipped with a Riemannian metric of constant curvature 1, except at the corners, and such that the boundary arcs…
We show that every gammoid has special digraph representations, such that a representation of the dual of the gammoid may be easily obtained by reversing all arcs. In an informal sense, the duality notion of a poset applied to the digraph…
Right (and left) coherency and right (and left) weak coherency are natural finitary conditions for monoids. Determining whether or not a given monoid has any of these properties is historically a difficult problem. This paper has several…
We incorporate metric data into the framework of Tannaka-Krein duality. Thus, for any group with left invariant metric, we produce a dual metric on its category of unitary representations. We characterize the conditions under which a…
