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.…

The variant of a semigroup S with respect to an element a in S, denoted S^a, is the semigroup with underlying set S and operation * defined by x*y=xay for x,y in S. In this article, we study variants T_X^a of the full transformation…

Fix sets $X$ and $Y$, and write $\mathcal{PT}_{XY}$ for the set of all partial functions $X\to Y$. Fix a partial function $a:Y\to X$, and define the operation $\star_a$ on $\mathcal{PT}_{XY}$ by $f\star_ag=fag$ for…

We classify all isolated, completely isolated, and convex subsemigroups in the semigroup T_n of all transformations of an n-element set, considered as the semigroup with respect to a sandwich operation.

Fix (not necessarily distinct) objects $i$ and $j$ of a locally small category $S$, and write $S_{ij}$ for the set of all morphisms $i\to j$. Fix a morphism $a\in S_{ji}$, and define an operation $\star_a$ on $S_{ij}$ by $x\star_ay=xay$ for…

We construct a family of representations of an arbitrary variant $S_a$ of a semigroup $S$, induced by a given representation of $S$, and investigate properties of such representations and their kernels.

We consider semigroups of transformations (partial mappings defined on a set $A$) closed under the set-theoretic intersection of mappings treated as subsets of $A\times A$. On such semigroups we define two relations: the relation of…

All isolated, completely isolated, and nilpotent subsemigroups in the semigroup $\IS$ of all injective partial transformations of an $n$-element set, considered as a semigroup with a sandwich multiplication are described.

For a positive integer $n$, the full transformation semigroup $T_n$ consists of all self maps of the set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ under composition. Any finite semigroup $S$ embeds in some $T_n$, and the least such $n$ is called the (minimum…

Let $T(X)$ (resp. L(V)) be the semigroup of all transformations (resp. linear transformations) of a set $X$ (resp. vector space $V$). For a subset $Y$ of $X$ and a subsemigroup $\mathbb{S}(Y)$ of $T(Y)$, consider the subsemigroup…

An involution on a semigroup S (or any algebra with an underlying associative binary operation) is a function f:S->S that satisfies f(xy)=f(y)f(x) and f(f(x))=x for all x,y in S. The set I(S) of all such involutions on S generates a…

In this paper we exhibit a type of semigroup presentations which determines a class of local groups. We show that the finite elements of this class generate the pseudovariety ${\bf LG}$ of all finite local groups and use them as…

A variant of a semigroup $S$ with respect to an element $a\in S$ is the semigroup $S^{a}=(S,\star_{a})$, where $x\star_{a}y=xay$ for any $x,y\in S$. Here, $a$ is the sandwich element of $S^{a}$. In this article, we study variants of the…

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…

Let $\mathcal M_{mn}=\mathcal M_{mn}(\mathbb F)$ denote the set of all $m\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb F$, and fix some $n\times m$ matrix $A\in\mathcal M_{nm}$. An associative operation $\star$ may be defined on $\mathcal…

Let $a$ be a non-invertible transformation of a finite set and let $G$ be a group of permutations on that same set. Then $\genset{G, a}\setminus G$ is a subsemigroup, consisting of all non-invertible transformations, in the semigroup…

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

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…

We introduce the concept of an extension of a semilattice of groups $A$ by a group $G$ and describe all the extensions of this type which are equivalent to the crossed products $A*_\Theta G$ by twisted partial actions $\Theta$ of $G$ on…

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…
