The Sch\"utzenberger product of monoids is a key tool for the algebraic treatment of language concatenation. In this paper we generalize the Sch\"utzenberger product to the level of monoids in an algebraic category $\mathscr{D}$, leading to…
In this paper we discuss connections between the following properties: (RFM) residual finiteness of a monoid M; (RFSG) residual finiteness of Schutzenberger groups of M; and (RFRL) residual finiteness of the natural actions of M on its…
Let $X$ be an arbitrary set and let $T(X)$ denote the full transformation monoid on $X$. We prove that an element of $T(X)$ is unit-regular if and only if it is semi-balanced. For infinite $X$, we discuss regularity of the submonoid of…
Given a finitely presented monoid and a homotopy base for the monoid, and given an arbitrary Schutzenberger group of the monoid, the main result of this paper gives a homotopy base, and presentation, for the Schutzenberger group. In the…
We relate the old and new cohomology monoids of an arbitrary monoid $M$ with coefficients in semimodules over $M$, introduced in the author's previous papers, to monoid and group extensions. More precisely, the old and new second cohomology…
In this paper we provide an account of the Todd-Coxeter algorithm for computing congruences on semigroups and monoids. We also give a novel description of an analogue for semigroups of the so-called Felsch strategy from the Todd-Coxeter…
A semigroup $S$ is said to be right pseudo-finite if the universal right congruence can be generated by a finite set $U\subseteq S\times S$, and there is a bound on the length of derivations for an arbitrary pair $(s,t)\in S\times S$ as a…
Malcev described the congruences of the monoid $T_n$ of all full transformations on a finite set $X_n=\{1, \dots,n\}$. Since then, congruences have been characterized in various other monoids of (partial) transformations on $X_n$, such as…
The paper begins by exploring the various definitions of norms on semigroups and then presents a new definition of a normed semigroup. The properties of normed semigroups in the new sense are investigated. The new definition of the norm is…
The aim of this note is to point out some inaccuracies in our paper \cite{HD} and to fix them. Some new notions are introduced and properties of them are investigated.
It is shown that the category of semi-biproducts in monoids is equivalent to a category of pseudo-actions. A semi-biproduct in monoids is at the same time a generalization of a semi-direct product in groups and a biproduct in commutative…
It is shown that, in the theory of absorption semigroups, two possible ways of defining regularity for absorption rates are in fact equivalent.
We consider monoids equipped with a compatible quantale valued relation, to which we call quantale enriched monoids, and study semidirect products of such structures. It is well-known that semidirect products of monoids are closely related…
We study classes of proper restriction semigroups determined by properties of partial actions underlying them. These properties include strongness, antistrongness, being defined by a homomorphism, being an action etc. Of particular interest…
We study congruences on the partial automorphism monoid of a finite rank free group action. We give a decomposition of a congruence on this monoid into a Rees congruence, a congruence on a Brandt semigroup and an idempotent separating…
It is shown that the category of \emph{semi-biproducts} of monoids is equivalent to the category of \emph{pseudo-actions}. A semi-biproduct of monoids is a new notion, obtained through generalizing a biproduct of commutative monoids. By…
Graph products of monoids provide a common framework for direct and free products, and graph monoids (also known as free partially commutative monoids). If the monoids in question are groups, then any graph product is, of course, a group.…
We give an elementary characterization of those (abelian) semigroups $M$ that are direct limits of countable sequences of finite direct products of monoids of the form $C\cup\{0\}$ for monogenic groups $C$. This characterization involves…
We prove that a monoid is sofic, in the sense recently introduced by Ceccherini-Silberstein and Coornaert, whenever the J-class of the identity is a sofic group, and the quotients of this group by orbit stabilisers in the rest of the monoid…
We propose a way of associating to each finitely generated monoid or semigroup a formal language, called its loop problem. In the case of a group, the loop problem is essentially the same as the word problem in the sense of combinatorial…
