Principal matrices of a numerical semigroup of embedding dimension n are special types of $n \times n$ matrices over integers of rank $\leq n - 1$. We show that such matrices and even the pseudo principal matrices of size n must have rank…

This article studies the properties of word-hyperbolic semigroups and monoids, i.e. those having context-free multiplication tables with respect to a regular combing, as defined by Duncan & Gilman. In particular, the preservation of…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1_R$ and $k \in R$. Properties of one-sided $k$-orthogonal $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ are presented. When $k$ is idempotent, these matrices form a semigroup structure. Consequently new…

A prefix monoid is a finitely generated submonoid of a finitely presented group generated by the prefixes of its defining relators. Important results of Guba (1997), and of Ivanov, Margolis and Meakin (2001), show how the word problem for…

We use the Jucys-Murphy elements to construct a complete set of primitive idempotents for the Sergeev superalgebra ${\mathcal S}_n$. We produce seminormal forms for the simple modules over ${\mathcal S}_n$ and over the spin symmetric group…

Extending earlier work on supertropical adjoints and applying symmetrization, we provide a symmetric supertropical version $\operatorname {SLS}_n$ of the special linear group, which we partition into submonoids, based on "quasi-identity"…

We consider semigroup algorithmic problems in finitely generated metabelian groups. Our paper focuses on three decision problems introduced by Choffrut and Karhum\"{a}ki (2005): the Identity Problem (does a semigroup contain a neutral…

A subset $S$ of an integral domain $R$ is called a semidomain if the pairs $(S,+)$ and $(S, \cdot)$ are semigroups with identities; additionally, we say that $S$ is additively reduced provided that $S$ contains no additive inverses. Given…

Let $(\mathsf{baxt}_n,~^\sharp)$ be the Baxter monoid of finite rank $n$ with Sch\"{u}tzenberger's involution $^{\sharp}$. In this paper, it is shown that $(\mathsf{baxt}_n,~^\sharp)$ admits a faithful representation by an involution monoid…

We study the semigroup extension $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ by symmetric inverse semigroups of a bounded finite rank. We describe idempotents and regular elements of the semigroups $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ and…

In this paper we show that if $I$ is an ideal of a commutative semigroup $C$ such that the separator $SepI$ of $I$ is not empty then the factor semigroup $S=C/P_I$ ($P_I$ is the principal congruence on $C$ defined by $I$) satisfies…

For a commutative semiring S, by an S-algebra we mean a commutative semiring A equipped with a homomorphism from S to A. We show that the subvariety of S-algebras determined by the identities 1+2x=1 and x^2=x is closed under non-empty…

We construct a faithful representation of the semiring of all order-preserving decreasing transformations of a chain with $n+1$ elements by Boolean upper triangular $n\times n$-matrices.

In an earlier paper, the second-named author has described the identities holding in the so-called Catalan monoids. Here we extend this description to a certain family of Hecke--Kiselman monoids including the Kiselman monoids…

If $M$ is a submonoid of a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$, and $MG'$ is a finite index subgroup of $G$, then $M$ itself is a finite index subgroup of $G$. If $MG'=G$, then $M=G$. This generalizes a well-known theorem for subgroups…

This paper concerns a class of semigroups that arise as products $US$, associated to what we call `action pairs'. Here $U$ and $S$ are subsemigroups of a common monoid and, roughly speaking, $S$ has an action on the monoid completion $U^1$…

From any poset isomorphic to the poset of gaps of a numerical semigroup $S$ with the order induced by $S$, one can recover $S$. As an application, we prove that two different numerical semigroups cannot have isomorphic posets (with respect…

Motivated by recent advances in inverse semigroup theory, we investigate the growth of and identities satisfied by free left and free two-sided adequate monoids. We explicitly compute the growth of the monogenic free left adequate monoid…

We consider certain modules of the symmetric groups whose basis elements are called tabloids. Some of these modules are isomorphic to subspaces of the cohomology rings of subvarieties of flag varieties as modules of the symmetric groups. We…

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…
