In the paper we investigate topological properties of a topological Brandt $\lambda^0$-extension $B^0_{\lambda}(S)$ of a semitopological monoid $S$ with zero. In particular we prove that for every Tychonoff pseudocompact (resp., Hausdorff…
We show that a topological semigroup of finite partial bijections $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n$ of an infinite set with a compact subsemigroup of idempotents is absolutely $H$-closed and any countably compact topological semigroup does not…
In the paper we study the preservation of pseudocompactness (resp., countable compactness, sequential compactness, $\omega$-boundedness, totally countable compactness, countable pracompactness, sequential pseudocompactness) by Tychonoff…
The group of automorphisms of the Brandt $\lambda^0$-extension $B^0_\lambda(S)$ of an arbitrary monoid $S$ with zero is described. In particular we show that the group of automorphisms $\mathbf{Aut}(B_{\lambda}^0(S))$ of $B_{\lambda}^0(S)$…
We study algebraic structure of the $\lambda$-polycyclic monoid $P_{\lambda}$ and its topologizations. We show that the $\lambda$-polycyclic monoid for an infinite cardinal $\lambda\geqslant 2$ has similar algebraic properties so has the…
In the paper we study (countably) compact and (absolutely) $H$-closed primitive topological inverse semigroups. We describe the structure of compact and countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroups and show that any countably…
We present a complete classification of Hausdorff locally compact polycyclic monoids up to a topological isomorphism. A {\em polycyclic monoid} is an inverse monoid with zero, generated by a subset $\Lambda$ such that $xx^{-1}=1$ for any…
In the paper we introduce a notion of the Bruck-Reilly $\lambda$-polycyclic extension of a monoid $S$ with a homomorphism $\theta$ which is an analogue of the Bruck-Reilly extension of a monoid $S$. We describe idempotens of the semigroup…
We study topological properties of the symmetric inverse topological semigroup of finite transformations $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n$ of the rank $\leqslant n$. We show that the topological inverse semigroup $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n$ is…
We study the semigroup extension $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ by symmetric inverse semigroups of a bounded finite rank. We describe idempotents and regular elements of the semigroups $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ and…
The 6-element Brandt monoid $B_2^1$ admits a unique addition under which it becomes an additively idempotent semiring. We show that this addition is a term operation of $B_2^1$ as an inverse semigroup. As a consequence, we exhibit an easy…
We show that compact complex manifolds of algebraic dimension zero bearing a holomorphic Cartan geometry of algebraic type have infinite fundamental group. This generalizes the main Theorem in [DM] where the same result was proved for the…
We study the locally compact abelian groups in the class $\mathfrak E_{<\infty}$, that is, having only continuous endomorphisms of finite topological entropy, and in its subclass $\mathfrak E_0$, that is, having all continuous endomorphisms…
This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…
Given a group $X$ we study the algebraic structure of its superextension $\lambda(X)$. This is a right-topological semigroup consisting of all maximal linked systems on $X$ endowed with the operation $$\mathcal A\circ\mathcal B=\{C\subset…
We construct a compact closed category out of any symmetric monoidal category by freely adding adjoints to its objects. The morphisms of the completion are defined as string diagrams annotated by objects and morphisms from the original…
We describe the structure of 0-simple countably compact topological inverse semigroups and the structure of congruence-free countably compact topological inverse semigroups.
In this paper, we investigate zero-divisor, nilpotent, idempotent, unit, small, and irreducible elements in semiring extensions such as amount, content, and monoid semialgebras. We also introduce new concepts such as the prime avoidance…
We consider sets with infinite addition, called $\Sigma$-monoids, and contribute to their literature in three ways. First, our definition subsumes those from previous works and allows us to relate them in terms of adjuctions between their…
This note relates axioms for partial semigroups and monoids with those for small object-free categories, either with multiple monoidal units or with source and target maps. We discuss the adjunction of a zero element to both kinds of…
