We establish that, under certain closure assumptions on a pseudovariety of semigroups, the corresponding relatively free profinite semigroups freely generated by a non-singleton finite set act faithfully on their minimum ideals. As…
This paper is a contribution to the theory of finite semigroups and their classification in pseudovarieties, which is motivated by its connections with computer science. The question addressed is what role can play the consideration of an…
The most developed aspect of the theory of finite semigroups is their classification in pseudovarieties. The main motivation for investigating such entities comes from their connection with the classification of regular languages via…
This paper deals with join-semilattices whose sections, i.e. principal filters, are pseudocomplemented lattices. The pseudocomplement of a\vee b in the section [b,1] is denoted by a\rightarrow b and can be considered as the connective…
This paper is a contribution to the study of the subgroup structure of exceptional algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields of arbitrary characteristic. Following Serre, a closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group $G$ is…
The notion of automatic selfadjointness of all ideals in a multiplicative semigroup of the bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space B(H) arose in a 2015 discussion with Heydar Radjavi who pointed out that B(H) and the finite…
We consider the complexity of deciding membership of a given finite semigroup to a fixed pseudovariety. While it is known that there exist pseudovarieties with NP-complete or even undecidable membership problems, for many well-known…
We give a complete characterization of pseudovarieties of semigroups whose finitely generated relatively free profinite semigroups are equidivisible. Besides the pseudovarieties of completely simple semigroups, they are precisely the…
A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$ which are connected, closed and…
Let $S$ be a semigroup, $\Lambda$ a non-empty set and $P$ a mapping of $\Lambda$ into $S$. The set $S\times \Lambda$ together with the operation $\circ _P$ defined by $(s, \lambda)\circ _P(t, \mu )=(sP(\lambda)t, \mu )$ form a semigroup…
The aim of this paper is to provide an atlas of identity bases for varieties generated by small semigroups and groups. To help the working mathematician easily find information, we provide a companion website that runs in the background…
We prove that any non-cocompact irreducible lattice in a higher rank semi-simple Lie group contains a subgroup of finite index, which has three generators.
In this paper we introduce the notion of m-irreducibility that extends the standard concept of irreducibility of a numerical semigroup when the multiplicity is fixed. We analyze the structure of the set of m-irreducible numerical…
A general result by Jackson (Flat algebras and the translation of universal Horn logic to equational logic, J. Symb. Log. 73(1) (2008) 90--128) implies that the lattice of all quasivarieties of groups of exponent dividing $n$ embeds into…
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the theory of profinite semigroups by considering the special class consisting of those all of whose finitely generated closed subsemigroups are countable, which are said to be locally…
In continuous first-order logic, the union of definable sets is definable but generally the intersection is not. This means that in any continuous theory, the collection of $\varnothing$-definable sets in one variable forms a…
We present a procedure to enumerate the whole set of numerical semigroups with a given Frobenius number F, S(F). The methodology is based on the construction of a partition of S(F) by a congruence relation. We identify exactly one…
We study varieties of semigroups related to completely 0-simple semigroup. We present here an algorithmic descriptions of these varieties in terms of "forbidden" semigroups. We also describe residually completely 0-simple varieties of…
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…
A subsemigroup S of a semigroup Q is a left order in Q and Q is a semigroup of left quotients of S if every element of Q can be expressed as a# b where a and b are elements of S and if, in addition, every element of S that is square…
