We construct the \emph{inverse partition semigroup} $\mathcal{IP}_X$, isomorphic to the \emph{dual symmetric inverse monoid} $\mathcal{I}^{\ast}_X$, introduced in [6]. We give a convenient geometric illustration for elements of…

A semigroup amalgam (S; T1, T2) is known to be non-embeddable if T1 and T2 are both groups (completely regular semigroups, Clifford semigroups) but S is not such. We prove some non-embeddability conditions for semigroup amalgams (S; T1, T2)…

We observe that under certain conditions on the Lyapunov exponents a semi-invertible cocycle is, indeed, invertible. As a consequence, if a semi-invertible cocycle generated by a H\"{o}lder continuous map $A:M\to M(d, \mathbb{R})$ over a…

We describe the structure of finite Boolean inverse monoids and apply our results to the representation theory of finite inverse semigroups. We then generalize to semisimple Boolean inverse semigroups.

In this paper we study the semigroup $\mathscr{I}_{\infty}^{\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ of partial cofinal monotone bijective transformations of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. We show that the semigroup…

A semigroup $X$ is $absolutely$ (resp. $injectively$) $T_1S$-$closed$ if for any (injective) homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ to a $T_1$ topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$, the image $h[X]$ is closed in $Y$. We prove that a commutative semigroup…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a prime Noetherian algebra K[S] of a submonoid S of a polycyclic-by-finite group G to be a maximal order. These conditions are entirely in terms of the monoid S. This extends earlier results…

The complex algebra of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents in each $\mathcal D$-class is stably finite by a result of Munn. This can be proved fairly easily using $C^*$-algebras for inverse semigroups satisfying this…

We revisit our construction of the Thompson groups from the polycyclic inverse monoids in the light of new research. Specifically, we prove that the Thompson group $G_{n,1}$ is the group of units of a Boolean inverse monoid $C_{n}$ called…

For any truncated path algebra $\Lambda$, we give a structural description of the modules in the categories ${\cal P}^{<\infty}(\Lambda\text{-mod})$ and ${\cal P}^{<\infty}(\Lambda\text{-Mod})$, consisting of the finitely generated (resp.…

We show that, in certain circumstances, a Boolean ample monoid may be fully embedded into a Boolean inverse monoid in a way that generalizes how right reversible cancellative monoids may be embedded into groups. We use groupoids of…

The authors [3] proved that the endomorphism semiring of a nontrivial semilattice is always subdirectly irreducible and described its monolith. Here we prove that the endomorphism semiring of a commutative inverse semigroup with at least…

We prove that $\pi_1(\text{Ham}(M))$ contains an infinite cyclic subgroup, where $\text{Ham}(M)$ is the Hamiltonian group of the one point blow up of ${\Bbb C}P^3$. We give a sufficient condition for the group $\pi_1(\text{Ham}(M))$ to…

The dual symmetric inverse monoid $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ is the inverse monoid of all isomorphisms between quotients of an $n$-set. We give a monoid presentation of $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ and, along the way, establish criteria for a monoid to be…

A topological monoid is isomorphic to an endomorphism monoid of a countable structure if and only if it is separable and has a compatible complete ultrametric such that composition from the left is non-expansive. We also give a topological…

Let $S$ be a semigroup (written multiplicatively). Endowed with the operation of setwise multiplication induced by $S$ on its parts, the non-empty subsets of $S$ form themselves a semigroup, denoted by $\mathcal P(S)$. Accordingly, we say…

We give a criterium when a linearly ordered topological semilattice is $H$-closed. We also prove that any linearly ordered $H$-closed topological semilattice is absolutely $H$-closed and we show that every linearly ordered semilattice is a…

We investigate closed subsets (subsemigroups, resp.) of compact-like topological spaces (semigroups, resp.). We prove that each Hausdorff topological space can be embedded as a closed subspace into an H-closed topological space. However,…

For an element a in a semigroup S the local subsemigroup of S with respect to a is the subsemigroup aSa of S and the variant of S with respect to a is a semigroup with underlying set S with a sandwich operation xy = xay for all x, y in S.…

We construct countable groups $G$ with the following new degree of W*-superrigidity: if $L(G)$ is virtually isomorphic, in the sense of admitting a bifinite bimodule, with any other group von Neumann algebra $L(\Lambda)$, then the groups…
