We determine when an orthodox semigroup S has a permutation that sends each member of S to one of its inverses and show that if such a permutation exists, it may be taken to be an involution. In the case of a finite orthodox semigroup the…

Given a semigroup $S$ generated by its squares equipped with an involutive automorphism $\sigma$ and a multiplicative function $\mu:S\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $\mu(x\sigma(x))=1$ for all $x\in S$, we determine the complex-valued solutions of…

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…

Let $G$ be a group, $F$ a field, and $A$ a finite-dimensional central simple algebra over $F$ on which $G$ acts by $F$-algebra automorphisms. We study the ideals and subalgebras of $A$ which are preserved by the group action. Let $V$ be the…

Let $G=\Gamma(S)$ be a semigroup graph, i.e., a zero-divisor graph of a semigroup $S$ with zero element 0. For any adjacent vertices $x, y$ in $G$, denote $C(x,y)={z\in V(G) | N(z)={x,y}}$. Assume that in $G$ there exist two adjacent…

In this article we give an algorithm for determining the generators and relations for the rings of semi-invariant functions on irreducible components of representation spaces for gentle string algebras. These rings of semi-invariants turn…

We continue our investigation of binary actions of simple groups. In this paper, we demonstrate a connection between the graph $\Gamma(\mathcal{C})$ based on the conjugacy class $\mathcal{C}$ of the group $G$, which was introduced in our…

In this paper we construct free Hom-semigroups when its unary operation is multiplicative and is an involution. Our method of construction is by bracketed words. As a consequence, we obtain free Hom-associative algebras generated by a set…

A (2,*)-group is a group that can be generated by two elements, one of which is an involution. We describe the method we have used to produce a census of all (2,*)-groups of order at most 6 000. Various well-known combinatorial structures…

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be a set of the natural numbers. Symmetric inverse semigroup $R_\infty$ is the semigroup of all infinite 0-1 matrices $[g_{ij}]$ with at most one 1 in each row and each column such that $g_{ii}=1$ on the complement of a…

Let $S$ be an algebraic semigroup (not necessarily linear) defined over a field $F$. We show that there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $x^n$ belongs to a subgroup of $S(F)$ for any $x \in S(F)$. In particular, the semigroup $S(F)$…

Let $\mathbb{F}G$ denote the group algebra of a locally finite group $G$ over the infinite field $\mathbb{F}$ with $char(\mathbb{F})\neq 2$, and let $\circledast:\mathbb{F}G\rightarrow \mathbb{F}G$ denote the involution defined by…

We consider a version of the notion of F-inverse semigroup (studied in the algebraic theory of inverse semigroups). We point out that an action of such an inverse semigroup on a locally compact space has associated a natural groupoid…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic zero, and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie algebra. Let $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ be the subalgebra of the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})=K[\mathfrak{g}^*]$ made of the polynomials which are…

We study the automorphism group of an idempotent evolution algebra, show that any finite group can be the automorphism group of an evolution algebra, and describe certain evolution algebras with given automorphism groups. In particular, we…

A numerical semigroup is a submonoid of ${\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$ whose complement in ${\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$ is finite. For any set of positive integers $a,b,c$, the numerical semigroup $S(a,b,c)$ formed by the set of solutions of the inequality…

Let $\mathbb{F}G$ denote the group algebra of the group $G$ over the field $\mathbb{F}$ with $char(\mathbb{F})\neq 2$. Given both a homomorphism $\sigma:G\rightarrow \{\pm1\}$ and a group involution $\ast: G\rightarrow G$, an oriented…

Numerical semigroups have been extensively studied throughout the literature, and many of their invariants have been characterized. In this work, we generalize some of the most important results about symmetry, pseudo-symmetry, or…

We prolonge the list of C*-algebras for which all extensions by any stable separable C*-algebra are semi-invertible. In particular, we handle certain amalgamations, both of C*-algebras and of groups. Concerning groups we consider both…

The structure of a certain subgroup $S$ of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group (RAAG) $G$ is described in detail: namely the subgroup generated by inversions and elementary transvections. We define admissible subsets of…
