Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring, $\frak a$ be an ideal of $A$, $m,n$ be non-negative integers and let $M$ be an $A$-module such that $\Ext^i_A(A/\frak a,M)$ is finitely generated for all $i\leq m+n$. We define a class $\cS_n(\frak…

We propose a way of associating to each finitely generated monoid or semigroup a formal language, called its loop problem. In the case of a group, the loop problem is essentially the same as the word problem in the sense of combinatorial…

We show that any action of a finite group on a finitely presentable group arises as the action of the group of self-homotopy equivalences of a space on its fundamental group. In doing so, we prove that any finite connected (abstract)…

We classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids with central idempotents whose subvariety lattice is finite or satisfies the descending chain condition or satisfies the ascending chain condition. It turns out that for varieties in this…

We study conditions under which subdirect products of various types of algebraic structures are finitely generated or finitely presented. In the case of two factors, we prove general results for arbitrary congruence permutable varieties,…

This is the second in a series of articles surveying the body of work on the model theory of S-acts over a monoid S. The first concentrated on the theory of regular S-acts. Here we review the material on model-theoretic properties of free,…

Given a group acting cellularly and cocompactly on a simply-connected 2-complex, we provide a criterion establishing that all finitely generated subgroups have quasiconvex orbits. This work generalizes the "perimeter method". As an…

Let $M$ be a cancellative commutative monoid and call a submonoid $S$ of $M$ an undermonoid if $\G(S)=\G(M)$ inside the Grothendieck group of $M$. Gotti and Li asked whether the finite factorization property is hereditary once it is known…

We study congruences of the semigroup $\mathscr{I\!O}\!_{\infty}(\mathbb{Z}^n_{\operatorname{lex}})$ of monotone injective partial selfmaps of the set of $L_n\times_{\operatorname{lex}}\mathbb{Z}$ having co-finite domain and image, where…

In this paper we study the separately continuous actions of semitopological monoids on pseudocompact spaces. The main aim of this paper is to generalize Lawson's results to some class of pseudocompact spaces. Also, we introduce a concept of…

We prove that it is decidable whether or not a finitely generated submonoid of a virtually free group is graded, introduce a new geometric characterization as quasi-geodesic monoids, and show that their word problem is rational (as a…

We find (completeness type) conditions on topological semilattices $X,Y$ guaranteeing that each continuous homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ has closed image $h(X)$ in $Y$.

We devise a fairly general sufficient condition ensuring that the endomorphism monoid of a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous structure (i.e. a Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} limit) embeds all countable semigroups. This approach provides us not only…

We call a semigroup $S$ right noetherian if it satisfies the ascending chain condition on right ideals, and we say that $S$ satisfies ACCPR if it satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal right ideals. We investigate the behavior…

This thesis is about trying to understand various aspects of partial symmetry using ideas from semigroup and category theory. In Chapter 2 it is shown that the left Rees monoids underlying self-similar group actions are precisely monoid…

Lee and Kwon [12] defined an ordered semigroup S to be completely regular if a 2 (a2Sa2] for every a 2 S. We characterize every completely regular ordered semigroup as a union of t-simple subsemigroups, and every Clifford ordered semigroup…

Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{T}_{n}$ be the semigroup of full transformations on $[n]$. Let $\mathcal{CT}_{n}=\{\alpha\in \mathcal{T}_{n}: (for ~all~x,y\in…

We give the sufficient condition when every left-continuous (right-continuous) Hausdorff topology on a semigroup $S$ is discrete. We construct a submonoid $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ (resp., $\mathscr{C}_{-}(a,b)$) of the bicyclic monoid which…

In this paper we deal with the following problem: how does the structure of a finite semigroup $S$ depend on the probability that two elements selected at random from $S$, with replacement, define the same inner right translation of $S$. We…

In this paper, we prove that all automorphisms of categories of free S-acts are semi-inner, which solves a variation of a well known B. Plotkin's problem in the case of monoids. We also give a description of automorphisms of categories of…
