We use quasi-orders to describe the structure of C-groups. We do this by associating a quasi-order to each compatible C-relation of a group, and then give the structure of such quasi-ordered groups. We also reformulate in terms 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 give an algebraic characterization of assemblies in terms of bands of groups. We also consider substructures and homomorphisms of assemblies. We give many examples and counterexamples.
We reveal new aspects of the structure of Hilbert space $C_0$-semigroups $\mathcal T = (T(t))_{t\ge 0}$ similar to semigroups of contractions. In particular, we prove that $\mathcal T$ is similar to a semigroup of contractions if and only…
We study a numerical semigroup ring as an algebra over another numerical semigroup ring. The complete intersection property of numerical semigroup algebras is investigated using factorizations of monomials into minimal ones. The goal is to…
The aim of this manuscript is to give some basic notions related to numerical semigroups, and from these on the one hand describe a classical application to the study of singularities of plane algebraic curves, and on the other, show how…
We investigate the class of quasitrivial semigroups and provide various characterizations of the subclass of quasitrivial and commutative semigroups as well as the subclass of quasitrivial and order-preserving semigroups. We also determine…
This paper has several purposes. We present through a critical review the results from already published papers on the constructive semigroup theory, and contribute to its further development by giving solutions to open problems. We also…
The main aim of this work is to introduce and justify the study of semi-covarities. A {\it semi-covariety} is a non-empty family $\mathcal{F}$ of numerical semigroups such that it is closed under finite intersections, has a minimum,…
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…
We determine the structure of the semisimple group algebra of certain groups over the rationals and over those finite fields where the Wedderburn decompositions have the least number of simple components. We apply our work to obtain similar…
We give a new characterization of partial groups as a subcategory of symmetric (simplicial) sets. This subcategory has an explicit reflection, which permits one to compute colimits in the category of partial groups. We also introduce the…
A countable semigroup is $\aleph_0$-categorical if it can be characterised, up to isomorphism, by its first-order properties. In this paper we continue our investigation into the $\aleph_0$-categoricity of semigroups. Our main results are a…
In this paper, we explain the importance of finite decomposition semigroups and present two theorems related to their structure.
We study quasi-semisimple elements of disconnected reductive algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field. We describe their centralizers, define isolated and quasi-isolated quasi-semisimple elements and classify their conjugacy…
This article is partly a survey and partly a research paper. It tackles the use of Groebner bases for addressing problems of numerical semigroups, which is a topic that has been around for some years, but it does it in a systematic way…
Motivated by intuitive properties of physical quantities, the notion of a non-anomalous semigroup is formulated. These are totally ordered semigroups where there are no `infinitesimally close' elements. The real numbers are then defined as…
We define quasi-Frobenius semigroups and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which a semigroup algebra of a 0-cancellative semigroup is quasi-Frobenius.
The authors investigate the structure of quasi-o-minimal groups. Among other results, they show that quasi-o-minimal groups are abelian, that quasi-o-minimal densely ordered archimedian groups are divisible, and that every divisible…
In this paper, we characterize completely the structure of Clifford semigroups of matrices over an arbitrary field. It is shown that a semigroups of matrices of finite order is a Clifford semigroup if and only if it is isomorphic to a…
