In this paper we characterize the existance of an ultra central approximate identity for $\ell^{1}(S)$, where $S$ is a uniformly locally finite inverse semigroup. As an application, for the Brandt semigroup $S=M^{0}(G,I)$ over a non-empty…
We provide explicit identity bases for finite cyclic semigroups.
The 5-element Brandt semigroup $B_2$ admits the structure of a naturally semilattice-ordered inverse semigroup, thus becoming an additively idempotent semiring with the operation of taking greatest lower bounds as the semiring addition. For…
A new sufficient condition under which a semigroup admits no finite identity basis has been recently suggested in a joint paper by Karl Auinger, Yuzhu Chen, Xun Hu, Yanfeng Luo, and the author (see http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.0783). Here we…
We present a general method for proving that a semigroup is non-finitely based. The method is strong enough to cover the non-finite basis arguments in articles [1,3,4,5,7,8, 11,14,16,21,27,31,36,37]. In particular, the method allows to…
Let $G$ be a unitriangular matrix group of nilpotency class at most ten. We show that the Identity Problem (does a semigroup contain the identity matrix?) and the Group Problem (is a semigroup a group?) are decidable in polynomial time for…
The aim of this paper is to provide an atlas of identity bases for varieties generated by small semigroups and groups. To help the working mathematician easily find information, we provide a companion website that runs in the background…
The semigroup $B_0$ is the only, up to isomorphism, 4-element subsemigroup of the 5-element Brandt semigroup $B_2$. Being an inverse semigroup, the semigroup $B_2$ can naturally be considered an additively idempotent semiring and $B_0$ is…
In a recent paper by L. Fel two new identities for the degree of syzygies are given. We present an algebraic proof of them, using only basic homological algebra tools. We also extend these results.
This article is partly a survey and partly a research paper. It tackles the use of Groebner bases for addressing problems of numerical semigroups, which is a topic that has been around for some years, but it does it in a systematic way…
In this paper, we prove a theorem which adds a new member to the famous G\"oellnitz-Gordon identities. We construct a "new system of recurrence formulas" in order to prove it.
We describe overcommutative varieties of semigroups whose lattice of overcommutative subvarieties satisfies a non-trivial identity or quasiidentity. These two properties turn out to be equivalent.
The 6-element Brandt monoid $B_2^1$ admits a unique addition under which it becomes an additively idempotent semiring. We show that this addition is a term operation of $B_2^1$ as an inverse semigroup. As a consequence, we exhibit an easy…
This paper contains a stronger version of a final identification theorem for the `generic' groups of finite Morley rank.
We introduce the notion of a probabilistic identity of a residually finite group. We prove that a finitely generated linear group satisfies a probabilistic identity if and only if it is virtually solvable. As an application, we prove a…
We introduce the subsemigroup complex of a finite semigroup S as a (boolean representable) simplicial complex defined through chains in the lattice of subsemigroups of S. We present a research program for such complexes, illustrated through…
A complete set of primitive orthogonal idempotents plays an important role in the representation theory of an associative algebra. In this paper, we construct a complete set of primitive orthogonal idempotents for any finite Brandt…
These are notes of a graduate course on representations of non-compact semisimple Lie groups given by the author at MIT.
The purpose of this paper is to revisit the proof of the Gearhardt-Pr\"uss-Hwang-Greiner theorem for a semigroup $S(t)$, following the general idea of the proofs that we have seen in the literature and to get an explicit estimate on $\Vert…
In previous papers the author introduced a new basis of the Grpthendieck group of unipotent representations of a finite Chevalley group. In type D the definition of this basis was stated without proof. In this paper we provide the missing…
