For a monoid $M$, we denote by $\mathbb G(M)$ the group of units, $\mathbb E(M)$ the submonoid generated by the idempotents, and $\mathbb G_L(M)$ and $\mathbb G_R(M)$ the submonoids consisting of all left or right units. Writing $\mathcal…

An element $x$ of a lattice $L$ is modular if $L$ has no five-element sublattice isomorphic to the pentagon in which $x$ would correspond to the lonely midpoint. In the present work, we classify all modular elements of the lattice of all…

Let $Q$ be an inverse semigroup. A subsemigroup $S$ of $Q$ is a left I-order in $Q$ and $Q$ is a semigroup of left I-quotients of $S$ if every element in $Q$ can be written as $a^{-1}b$, where $a, b \in S$ and $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$…

Given an action of a monoid $T$ on a ring $A$ by ring endomorphisms, and an Ore subset $S$ of $T$, a general construction of a fractional skew monoid ring $S^{\rm op} * A * T$ is given, extending the usual constructions of skew group rings…

To an inverse semigroup, we associate an \'etale groupoid such that its actions on topological spaces are equivalent to actions of the inverse semigroup. Both the object and the arrow space of this groupoid are non-Hausdorff. We show that…

We investigate the possible structures imposed on a finite group by its possession of an automorphism sending a large fraction of the group elements to their cubes, the philosophy being that this should force the group to be, in some sense,…

The 5-element Brandt semigroup $B_2$ admits the structure of a naturally semilattice-ordered inverse semigroup, thus becoming an additively idempotent semiring with the operation of taking greatest lower bounds as the semiring addition. For…

We describe the automorphism groups of reductive monoids and of root monoids with active groups of invertible elements.

We call a restriction semigroup almost perfect if it is proper and its least monoid congruence is perfect. We show that any such semigroup is isomorphic to a `$W$-product' $W(T,Y)$, where $T$ is a monoid, $Y$ is a semilattice and there is a…

Let $G$ be a non-compact semisimple Lie group with finite centre and finitely many components. We show that any finitely generated group $\Gamma$ which is quasi-isometric to an irreducible lattice in $G$ has the $R_\infty$-property, namely,…

In this paper we show that polycyclic monoids are universal objects in the class of graph inverse semigroups. In particular, we prove that a graph inverse semigroup $G(E)$ over a directed graph $E$ embeds into the polycyclic monoid…

We study locally closed transformation monoids which contain the automorphism group of the random graph. We show that such a transformation monoid is locally generated by the permutations in the monoid, or contains a constant operation, or…

Given an adaptable separated graph, we construct an associated groupoid and explore its type semigroup. Specifically, we first attach to each adaptable separated graph a corresponding semigroup, which we prove is an $E^*$-unitary inverse…

The monogenic free inverse semigroup $FI_1$ is not finitely presented as a semigroup due to the classic result by Schein (1975). We extend this result and prove that a finitely generated subsemigroup of $FI_1$ is finitely presented if and…

In an earlier work, the author observed that Boolean inverse semi-groups, with semigroup homomorphisms preserving finite orthogonal joins, form a congruence-permutable variety of algebras, called biases. We give a full description of…

Semifields are semirings in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. A rough classification uses the characteristic of the semifield, that is the isomorphism type of the semifield generated by the two neutral elements. For…

In this paper we compute the rank and exhibit a presentation for the monoids of all $P$-stable and $P$-order preserving partial permutations on a finite set $\Omega$, with $P$ an ordered uniform partition of $\Omega$. These (inverse)…

The left regular band structure on a hyperplane arrangement and its representation theory provide an important connection between semigroup theory and algebraic combinatorics. A finite semigroup embeds in a real hyperplane face monoid if…

We study the structure of inverse primitive feebly compact semitopological and topological semigroups. We find conditions when the maximal subgroup of an inverse primitive feebly compact semitopological semigroup $S$ is a closed subset of…

Every $F$-inverse monoid can be equipped with the unary operation which maps each element to the maximum element of its $\sigma$-class. In this enriched signature, the class of all $F$-inverse monoids forms a variety of algebraic…
