Let K be a field of positive characteristic p, let R be either a group algebra K[G] or a restricted enveloping algebra u(L), and let I be the augmentation ideal of R. We first characterize those R for which I satisfies a polynomial identity…

The main result of the paper proves that the monoid of all 2 x 2 tropical matrices satisfies a non-trivial semigroup identity, unlike the case of matrices over infinite fields. We exploit a strong connection between the monoid of all 2 x 2…

Results are obtained on extending flat vector bundles or equivalently general representations from the fundamental group of S, a connected subsurface of the connected boundary of a compact, connected, oriented 3-dimensional manifold, to the…

Let $\mathscr{C}_\mathbb{N}$ be a monoid which is generated by the partial shift $\alpha\colon n\mapsto n+1$ of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ and its inverse partial shift $\beta\colon n+1\mapsto n$. In this paper we prove that…

In this paper we consider the algebra of upper triangular matrices UT$_n(F)$, endowed with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-grading (superalgebra) and equipped with a superinvolution. These structures naturally arise in the context of Lie and Jordan…

We characterize numerical semigroups for which the poset of its ideal class monoid is a lattice, and study the irreducible elements of such a lattice with respect to union, intersection, infimum and supremum.

Let A be an associative algebra with identity over a field k. An atomistic subsemiring R of the lattice of subspaces of A, endowed with the natural product, is a subsemiring which is a closed atomistic sublattice. When R has no zero…

This paper is an MGM version of arXiv.org:1703.04266 and arXiv:1907.03364, and a follow-up to Section 5 of arXiv:1503.05523. In the setting of a commutative ring $S$ with a weakly proregular finitely generated ideal $J\subset S$, we…

An inverse monoid $S$ is called $F$-inverse if each $\sigma$-class of $S$, where $\sigma$ is the minimum group congruence of $S$, has a maximum element with respect to the natural order of $S$. Since the property of an inverse monoid being…

We describe a method, based on the theory of Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials, for proving bounded Littlewood identities. Our approach provides an alternative to Macdonald's partial fraction technique and results in the first examples of…

We primarily investigate the properties of characteristic polynomials of semimatroids. In particular, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of their coefficients, generalizing the Whitney's Broken Circuit Theorem. We also prove that the…

A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right $S$-act is finitely presented. This is a finiteness condition, and we investigate whether or not it is preserved under some standard…

We show that, like in the case of algebras over fields, the study of multilinear polynomial identities of unitary rings can be reduced to the study of proper polynomial identities. In particular, the factors of series of $\mathbb…

We prove that the symmetric group $S_n$ has a unique minimal cover $\mathcal{M}$ by maximal nilpotent subgroups, and we obtain an explicit and easily computed formula for the order of $\mathcal{M}$. In addition, we prove that the order of…

This article studies the equation $[A,B]^k = {\rm Id}_n$ for matrices over $\mathbb{C}$, characterizing the pairs $(k,n)$ for which solutions exist via a classical result of Lam and Leung on sums of roots of unity. The problem is next…

In algebraic terms, the insertion of $n$-powers in words may be modelled at the language level by considering the pseudovariety of ordered monoids defined by the inequality $1\le x^n$. We compare this pseudovariety with several other…

Let S=Sym(\Omega) be the group of all permutations of an infinite set \Omega. Extending an argument of Macpherson and Neumann, it is shown that if U is a generating set for S as a group, respectively as a monoid, then there exists a…

Let T_n be the full transformation semigroup of all mappings from the set {1,...,n} to itself under composition. Let E = E(T_n) denote the set of idempotents of T_n and let e be an arbitrary idempotent satisfying |im(e)|=r < n-1. We prove…

In the paper we study algebraic properties of the monoid $\mathbf{I}\mathbb{N}_{\infty}^{\boldsymbol{g}[j]}$ of cofinite partial isometries of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ with the bounded finite noise $j$. For the monoids…

We introduce locally involutive semigroups and embed them into the category of ordered groupoids. This embedding restricts to a correspondence between quasi-involutive semigroups and ordered groupoids with mediator, extending the classical…
