When a semigroup has a unary operation, it is possible to define two binary operations, namely, left and right division. In addition it is well known that groups can be defined in terms of those two divisions. The aim of this paper is to…

First of all, we recall the well known notion of semidirect product both for classical algebraic structures (like groups and rings) and for more recent ones (digroups, left skew braces, heaps, trusses). Then we analyse the concept of…

The structure of transformation semigroups on a finite set is analyzed by introducing a hierarchy of functions mapping subsets to subsets. The resulting hierarchy of semigroups has a corresponding hierarchy of minimal ideals, or kernels.…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate \emph{semicorings} over associative semirings and their categories of \emph{semicomodules.} Our results generalize old and recent results on corings over rings and their categories of comodules.…

In the paper we investigate the semigroup of monotone co-finite partial homeomorphisms of the space of the usual real line $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that the inverse semigroup $\mathscr{P\!\!H}^+_{\!\!\operatorname{\textsf{cf}}}\!(\mathbb{R})$…

Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{CT}_{n}$ be the semigroup of full contractions on $[n]$. Denote $\mathcal{ORCT}_{n}$ and $\mathcal{OCT}_{n}$ to be the subsemigroup of order preserving or reversing and the…

We propose a notion of a proper Ehresmann semigroup based on a three-coordinate description of its generating elements governed by certain labelled directed graphs with additional structure. The generating elements are determined by their…

Let $\mathcal{PORD}_{n}$ be the semigroup consisting of all oriented and order-decreasing partial transformations on the finite chain $X_{n}=\{ 1<\cdots<n \}$. Let $\mathcal{IORD}_{n}$ be the subsemigroup of $\mathcal{PORD}_{n}$ consisting…

The rank of a finite semigroup is the smallest number of elements required to generate the semigroup. A formula is given for the rank of an arbitrary (non necessarily regular) Rees matrix semigroup over a group. The formula is expressed in…

Let $X$ be a nonempty set and $T(X)$ the full transformation semigroup on $X$. For any equivalence relation $E$ on $X$, define a subsemigroup $T_{E^*}(X)$ of $T(X)$ by $$ T_{E^*}(X)=\{\alpha\in T(X):\text{for all}\ x,y\in X, (x,y)\in…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$, and let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the algebra of all $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{K}$. We consider the corresponding special Jordan algebra $\mathcal{A}:=M_n(\mathbb{K})^+$…

Let (R;m) be a numerical semigroup ring. In this paper we study the properties of its associated graded ring G(m). In particular, we describe the H^0_M for G(m) (where M is the homogeneous maximal ideal of G(m)) and we characterize when…

A DR-semigroup $S$ (also known as a reduced E-semiabundant or reduced E-Fountain semigroup) is here viewed as a semigroup equipped with two unary operations $D,R$ satisfying finitely many equational laws. Examples include DRC-semigroups…

We characterize the intra-regular $\Gamma$-semigroups and the left regular $\Gamma$-semigroups $M$ in which $x\Gamma M\subseteq M\Gamma x$ for every $x\in M$ in terms of filters and we prove, among others, that every intra-regular…

This paper considers universal Hilbert space operators in the sense of Rota, and gives criteria for universality of semigroups in the context of uniformly continuous semigroups and contraction semigroups. Specific examples are given.…

Let E be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space with finite-dimensional generated C*-algebra. A classification is given of the locally finite algebras and the operator algebras obtained as limits of direct sums of matrix algebras over E…

We study topological aspects of the category of abstract Cuntz semigroups, termed Cu. We provide a suitable setting in which we are able to uniformly control how to approach an element of a Cu-semigroup by a rapidly increasing sequence.…

We systematically develop a theory of graded semigroups, that is semigroups S partitioned by groups G, in a manner compatible with the multiplication on S. We define a smash product S#G, and show that when S has local units, the category…

For a groupoid $S$ with elements $a$ and $b$, if $ba = a$, then $b$ is a left identity of $a$ and $a$ is a right zero of $b$. We define the left identity set of $a$ to be the set of all left identities of $a$ in $S$, and similarly for the…

We consider wreath product decompositions for semigroups of triangular matrices. We exhibit an explicit wreath product decomposition for the semigroup of all n-by-n upper triangular matrices over a given field k, in terms of aperiodic…
