It is proved that all finitely generated subgroups of generalized free product of two groups are finitely separable provided that free factors have this property and amalgamated subgroups are normal in corresponding factors and satisfy the…

We show that the set of entries generated by any finite set of doubly stochastic matrices is nowhere dense, in contrast to the cases of stochastic matrices or unitary matrices. In other words, there is no finite universal set of doubly…

We show that, if $M$ is a subspace lattice with the property that the rank one subspace of its operator algebra is weak* dense, $L$ is a commutative subspace lattice and $P$ is the lattice of all projections on a separable infinite…

An element e of an ordered semigroup $(S,\cdot,\leq)$ is called an ordered idempotent if $e\leq e^2$. We call an ordered semigroup $S$ idempotent ordered semigroup if every element of $S$ is an ordered idempotent. Every idempotent semigroup…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $G$ a reductive group over $k$, and $V$ a finite dimensional $G$-module. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$, and $U$ its unipotent radical. We prove that if $S=\Sym V$ has…

We introduce a new class of ultrafilters which generalizes the well-known class of simple $P$-point ultrafilters. We prove that for any well-founded $\sigma$-directed partial order $\mathbb{D}$ there is a mild forcing extension where there…

We show that every periodic element of the free idempotent generated semigroup on an arbitrary biordered set belongs to a subgroup of the semigroup.

We prove that any non-cocompact irreducible lattice in a higher rank semi-simple Lie group contains a subgroup of finite index, which has three generators.

In recent years, several problems regarding the partition regularity of exponential configurations have been studied in the literature, in some cases using the properties of specific ultrafilters. In this paper, we start to lay down the…

We obtain a characterization of the binary commutator on completely simple semigroups, using their Rees matrix representation. Consequently, we prove that a regular semigroup is nilpotent (solvable) if and only if it is simple, and all its…

In the hyperreals constructed using a free ultrafilter on R, where [f] is the hyperreal represented by f:R->R, it is tempting to define a derivative operator by [f]'=[f'], but unfortunately this is not generally well-defined. We show that…

We prove that all maximal subgroups of the free idempotent generated semigroup over a band B are free for all B belonging to a band variety V if and only if V consists either of left seminormal bands, or of right seminormal bands.

We provide a new and much simpler structure for quasi-ideal adequate transversals of abundant semigroups in terms of spined products, which is similar in nature to that given by Saito for weakly multiplicative inverse transversals of…

Characterizations of ultrafilters belong to the smallest ideal of Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a discrete semigroup are exhibited using syndetic sets, strongly central sets and very strongly central sets respectively. These lead to…

We study the multiplication operation of square matrices over lattices. If the underlying lattice is distributive, then matrices form a semigroup; we investigate idempotent and nilpotent elements and the maximal subgroups of this matrix…

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…

We say that a subset $S$ of an infinite group $G$ is a Ramsey-product subset if, for any infinite subsets $X$, $Y$ of $G$, there exist $x \in X$ and $y\in Y$ such that $x y \in S$ and $ y x \in S$ . We show that the family $\varphi$ of all…

We have shown recently that, given a metric space $X$, the coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the two copies of $X$ form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$. Here we study the property of idempotents in $M(X)$ of being finite or infinite,…

An element $a$ in a ring $R$ is strongly J-clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and an element in the Jacobson radical that commutes. We characterize the strongly J-clean $2\times 2$ matrices over 2-projective-free non-commutative rings.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and S be a multiplicatively closed subset of R. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of fully S-idempotent modules as a generalization of fully idempotent modules and investigate some…
