Given a monoid defined by a presentation, and a homotopy base for the derivation graph associated to the presentation, and given an arbitrary subgroup of the monoid, we give a homotopy base (and presentation) for the subgroup. If the monoid…

For every finitely generated free group we construct an explicit left order extending the lexicographic order on the free monoid generated by the positive letters. The order is defined by a left, free action on the orbit of 0 of a free…

In this paper, we study rings having the property that every right ideal is automorphism-invariant. Such rings are called right $a$-rings. It is shown that (1) a right $a$-ring is a direct sum of a square-full semisimple artinian ring and a…

K\"othe's classical problem posed by G. K\"othe in 1935 asks to describe the rings $R$ such that every left $R$-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules (these rings are known as left K\"othe rings). K\"othe, Cohen and Kaplansky solved this…

A group is coherent if all its finitely generated subgroups are finitely presented. In this article we provide a criterion for positively determining the coherence of a group. This criterion is based upon the notion of the perimeter of a…

Let $<X>$ be the free monoid on a generating set $X$, and suppose one adjoins to $<X>$ universal 2-sided inverses to a finite set $S$ of its elements. We note an elementary algorithm which yields a normal form for elements of the resulting…

With every reduced $E$-Fountain semigroup $S$ which satisfies the generalized right ample condition we associate a category with zero morphisms $\mathcal{C}(S)$. Under some assumptions we prove an isomorphism of $\Bbbk$-algebras $\Bbbk…

An $R$-module $M$ is called absolutely self pure if for any finitely generated left ideal of $R$ whose kernel is in the filter generated by the set of all left ideals $L$ of $R$ with $L \supseteq$ ann $(m)$ for some $m \in M$, any map from…

For $V$ a vector space over a field, or more generally, over a division ring, it is well-known that every $x\in\mathrm{End}(V)$ has an <i>inner inverse</i>, i.e., an element $y\in\mathrm{End}(V)$ satisfying $xyx=x.$ We show here that a…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, I and J ideals of R and M a finitely generated R-module. Let F be a covariant R-linear functor from the category of finitely generated R-modules to itself. We first show that if F is coherent, then…

The total right ring of quotients $Q_{\mathrm{tot}}^r(R),$ sometimes also called the maximal flat epimorphic right ring of quotients or right flat epimorphic hull, is usually obtained as a directed union of a certain family of extension of…

We prove that an inverse-free equation is valid in the variety LG of lattice-ordered groups (l-groups) if and only if it is valid in the variety DLM of distributive lattice-ordered monoids (distributive l-monoids). This contrasts with the…

We give an explicit description of the free objects in the quasivariety of adequate semigroups, as sets of labelled directed trees under a natural combinatorial multiplication. The morphisms of the free adequate semigroup onto the free…

$(1)$ Let $M\subset N$ be a commutative cancellative torsion-free and subintegral extension of monoids. Then we prove that in the case of ring extension $A[M]\subset A[N]$, the two notions, subintegral and weakly subintegral coincide…

We prove that every finite semigroup embeds in a finitely presented congruence-free monoid, and pose some questions around the Boone-Higman Conjecture.

In this paper we characterize the monoid congruences of commutative semigroups by the help of the notion of the separator of subsets of semigroups. We show that every monoid congruence of a commutative semigroup S can be constructed by the…

A group is called $\Lambda$-free if it has a free Lyndon length function in an ordered abelian group $\Lambda$, which is equivalent to having a free isometric action on a $\Lambda$-tree. A group has a regular free length function in…

A topological commutative ring is said to be rigid when for every set $X$, the topological dual of the $X$-fold topological product of the ring is isomorphic to the free module over $X$. Examples are fields with a ring topology, discrete…

We initiate the study of higher dimensional topological finiteness properties of monoids. This is done by developing the theory of monoids acting on CW complexes. For this we establish the foundations of $M$-equivariant homotopy theory…

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 $a$…
