For a given measure space $(X,{\mathscr B},\mu)$ we construct all measure spaces $(Y,{\mathscr C},\lambda)$ in which $(X,{\mathscr B},\mu)$ is embeddable. The construction is modeled on the ultrafilter construction of the Stone--\v{C}ech…
In this paper we seek to determine the Jacobson radical of certain algebras based on semigroups, and in particular on the semigroups $(\beta S, \Box)$, where $S$ is a cancellative, countable, abelian semigroup and $\beta S$ is its…
Using the notions of Topological dynamics, H. Furstenberg defined central sets and proved the Central Sets Theorem. Later V. Bergelson and N. Hindman characterized central sets in terms of algebra of the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of…
We describe a special class of representations of an inverse semigroup S on Hilbert's space which we term "tight". These representations are supported on a subset of the spectrum of the idempotent semilattice of S, called the "tight…
In the strict semi stable reduction situation, we describe the various filtrations of the perverse sheaf of nearby cycles in terms of irreducible perverse sheaves together with the action of the monodromy operator. We then study the…
We apply, in the context of semigroups, the main theorem from~\cite{higjac} that an elementary class $\mathcal{C}$ of algebras which is closed under the taking of direct products and homomorphic images is defined by systems of equations. We…
Classes of an equivalence relation on a module V over a supertropical semiring, called rays, carry the underlaying structure of "supertropical trigonometry" and thereby a version of convex geometry which is compatible with quasilinearity.…
The filtration on the infinite symmetric product of spheres by the number of factors provides a sequence of spectra between the sphere spectrum and the integral Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum. This filtration has received a lot of attention…
A detailed study of the semigroup $C^\ast$-algebra is presented. This $C^\ast$-algebra appears as a "deformation" of the continuous functions algebra on a compact abelian group. Considering semigroup $C^\ast$-algebras in this framework we…
We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…
The spectrum of an admissible subalgebra $\mathscr{A}(G)$ of $\mathscr{LUC}(G)$, the algebra of right uniformly continuous functions on a locally compact group $G$, constitutes a semigroup compactification $G^\mathscr{A}$ of $G$. In this…
Inclusion preserving maps from modules over an Artin algebra to complete partially ordered sets are studied. This yields a filtration of the Ziegler spectrum which is indexed by all Gabriel-Roiter measures. Another application is a…
Given a filter $\Delta$ in the poset of compositions of $n$, we form the filter $\Pi^{*}_{\Delta}$ in the partition lattice. We determine all the reduced homology groups of the order complex of $\Pi^{*}_{\Delta}$ as ${\mathfrak…
Suppose $\mathcal{G}$ is a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoid, $G$ is a discrete group containing a unital subsemigroup $P$, and $c:\mathcal{G}\rightarrow G$ is a continuous cocycle. We derive conditions on the…
A semigroup is called $E$-$separated$ if for any distinct idempotents $x,y\in X$ there exists a homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ to a semilattice $Y$ such that $h(x)\ne h(y)$. Developing results of Putcha and Weissglass, we characterize…
We study equivariant projective compactifications of reductive groups obtained by closing the image of a group in the space of operators of a projective representation. We describe the structure and the mutual position of their orbits under…
Schwartz functions, or measures, are defined on any smooth semi-algebraic ("Nash") manifold, and are known to form a cosheaf for the semi-algebraic restricted topology. We extend this definition to smooth semi-algebraic stacks, which are…
We use non-symmetric distances to give a self-contained account of C*-algebra filters and their corresponding compact projections, simultaneously simplifying and extending their general theory.
We introduce a general framework, based on \'etale topological categories, for studying discrete restriction semigroups and their algebras. Generalizing Paterson's universal groupoid of an inverse semigroup, we define the universal category…
The most developed aspect of the theory of finite semigroups is their classification in pseudovarieties. The main motivation for investigating such entities comes from their connection with the classification of regular languages via…
