The special structures that arise in symplectic topology (particularly Gromov--Witten invariants and quantum homology) place as yet rather poorly understood restrictions on the topological properties of symplectomorphism groups. This…

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. The intersection graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is a graph with all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices in $\mathscr{I}(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…

An inverse semigroup $S$ is a semigroup in which every element has a unique inverse in the sense of semigroup theory, that is, if $a \in S$ then there exists a unique $b\in S$ such that $a = aba$ and $b = bab$. We say that an inverse…

In this paper we consider McAlister semigroups over arbitrary cardinals and investigate their algebraic and topological properties. We show that the group of automorphisms of a McAlister semigroup $\mathcal{M}_{\lambda}$ is isomorphic to…

Let $\mathscr{C}_{+}(p,q)^0$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(p,q)^0$ be the semigroups $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(a,b)$ with the adjoined zero. We show that the semigroups $\mathscr{C}_{+}(p,q)^0$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(p,q)^0$ admit…

We study the closures of subgroups, semilattices and different kinds of semigroup extensions in semitopological inverse semigroups with continuous inversion. In particularly we show that a topological group $G$ is $H$-closed in the class of…

We define the notion of rough Cayley graph for compactly generated locally compact groups in terms of quasi-actions. We construct such a graph for any compactly generated locally compact group using quasi-lattices and show uniqueness up to…

We develop the theory of distributive inverse semigroups as the analogue of distributive lattices without top element and prove that they are in a duality with those etale groupoids having a spectral space of identities, where our spectral…

We introduce the concept of a topological J-group and determine for many important examples of topological groups if they are topological J-groups or not. Besides other results, we show that the underlying topological space of a pathwise…

In this paper, all graphs are assumed to be finite. For $s\geq 1$ and a graph $\G$, if for every pair of isomorphic connected induced subgraphs on at most $s$ vertices there exists an automorphism of $\G$ mapping the first to the second,…

First we give a definition of a coverage on a inverse semigroup that is weaker than the one gave by a Lawson and Lenz and that generalizes the definition of a coverage on a semilattice given by Johnstone. Given such a coverage, we prove…

Given a compact metric space $X$, we associate to it an inverse sequence of finite $T_0$ topological spaces. The inverse limit of this inverse sequence contains a homeomorphic copy of $X$ that is a strong deformation retract. We provide a…

We show that with few exceptions every local isometric automorphism of the group algebra $L^p(G)$ of a compact group $G$ is an isometric automorphism.

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 show that the semigroup Zariski topology on a group can be strictly coarser than the group Zariski topology on it, answering a question of Elliott, Jonusas, Mesyan, Mitchell, Morayne, and Peresse.

In this paper we detect topological Clifford semigroups which are embeddable into Tychonoff products of topological semilattices and cones over topological groups. Also we detect topological Clifford semigroups which embed into compact…

This work is motivated by the problem of finding locally compact group topologies for piecewise full groups (a.k.a.~ topological full groups). We determine that any piecewise full group that is locally compact in the compact-open topology…

In this paper we provide an abstract characterization of the inverse hulls of semigroups associated with Markov shifts. As an application of the characterization we give an example of Markov shifts that are not conjugate, but have…
