There are several different common definitions of a property in topological dynamics called "topological transitivity," and it is part of the folklore of dynamical systems that under reasonable hypotheses, they are equivalent. Various…
In this article we survey, and make a few new observations about, the surprising connection between sub-monoids of mapping class groups and interesting geometry and topology in low-dimensions.
For any minor-closed class of matroids over a fixed finite field, we state an exact structural characterization for the sufficiently connected matroids in the class. We also state a number of conjectures that might be approachable using the…
Subshifts with property $(A)$ are constructed from a class of directed graphs. As special cases the Markov-Dyck shifts are shown to have property $(A)$. The semigroups, that are associated to $\mathcal R$-graph shifts with Property (A), are…
A topological monoid is isomorphic to an endomorphism monoid of a countable structure if and only if it is separable and has a compatible complete ultrametric such that composition from the left is non-expansive. We also give a topological…
We investigate several categories related to transition structures, using a mixture of algebraic and topological methods. We show how two such categories are connected by a contravariant adjunction. This is the most detailed of a family of…
We systematically investigate, for a monoid $M$, how topos-theoretic properties of $\mathbf{PSh}(M)$, including the properties of being atomic, strongly compact, local, totally connected or cohesive, correspond to semigroup-theoretic…
In this technical report we describe a general class of monoids for which (sub)sequential rational can be characterised in terms of a congruence relation in the flavour of Myhill-Nerode relation. The class of monoids that we consider can be…
A subunit in a monoidal category is a subobject of the monoidal unit for which a canonical morphism is invertible. They correspond to open subsets of a base topological space in categories such as those of sheaves or Hilbert modules. We…
The main purpose of this paper is investigating classes of acts that are injective relative to all embeddings with indecomposable domains or codomains. We give some homological classifications of monoids in light of such kinds of…
We study topological factors of rank-one subshifts and prove that those factors that are themselves subshifts are either finite or isomorphic to the original rank-one subshifts. Thus, we completely characterize the subshift factors of…
This note contains some results related to the definitions of toroidal embeddings and toroidal morphisms over non-closed fields of characteristic zero.
In previous work we proved that, for categories of free finite-dimensional modules over a commutative semiring, linear compact-closed symmetric monoidal structure is a property, rather than a structure. That is, if there is such a…
We study algebraic and arithmetic properties of submonoids (resp. subrings) of factorial monoids (resp. factorial domains) whose non-invertible elements all lie in the conductor. This continues earlier work of Baeth, Cisto, et al.. On our…
We describe the automorphism groups of reductive monoids and of root monoids with active groups of invertible elements.
The family of symmetric one sided subshifts in two symbols given by a sequence $a$ is studied. We analyse some of their topological properties such as transitivity, the specification property and intrinsic ergodicity. It is shown that…
Given an additive equational category with a closed symmetric monoidal structure and a potential dualizing object, we find sufficient conditions that the category of topological objects over that category has a good notion of full…
This paper studies topological definitions of chain recurrence and shadowing for continuous endomorphisms of topological groups generalizing the relevant concepts for metric spaces. It is proved that in this case the sets of chain recurrent…
Polynomials commute under composition are referred to as commuting polynomials. In this paper, we study division properties for commuting polynomials with rational (and integer) coefficients. As a consequence, we show an algebraic…
We classify commutative algebraic monoid structures on normal affine surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The answer is given in two languages: comultiplications and Cox coordinates. The result follows from a…
