We consider membership problems for rational subsets of the semigroup of $2\times 2$ matrices over $\mathbb{Q}$. For a semigroup $M$, the rational subsets $\mathrm{Rat}(M)$ are defined as the sets accepted by NFAs whose transitions are…

The category $_{A}\mathbb{S}_{A}$ of bisemimodules over a semialgebra $A,$ with the so called Takahashi's tensor product $-\boxtimes_{A}-,$ is semimonoidal but not monoidal. Although not a unit in $_{A}\mathbb{S}%_{A},$ the base semialgebra…

We consider semi-local F-theory GUTs arising from a single E_8 point of local enhancement, leading to simple GUT groups based on E_6, SO(10) and SU(5) with SU(3), SU(4) and SU(5) spectral covers, respectively. Assuming the minimal Z_2…

We provide geometric methods and algorithms to verify, construct and enumerate pairs of words (of specified length over a fixed $m$-letter alphabet) that form identities in the semigroup $\ut{n}$ of $n\times n$ upper triangular tropical…

Given two numerical semigroups $S$ and $T$ we say that $T$ is a multiple of $S$ if there exists an integer $d \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$ such that $S = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid d x \in T\}$. In this paper we study the family of…

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…

We study matrix semigroups in which ring commutators have real spectra. We prove that irreducible semigroups with this property are simultaneously similar to semigroups of real-entried matrices. We also obtain a structure theorem for…

In this paper we focus on Rees $I\times \Lambda$ matrix semigroups without zero over a semigroup $S$ with $\Lambda\times I$ sandwich matrix $P$, where $I$ is a singleton, $\Lambda$ is the factor semigroup of $S$ modulo the kernel $\theta_S$…

We give a natural definition for the transitivity of a matrix. Using an endomorphism d of a base ring R and a transitive nxn matrix over the center Z(R), we construct the subalgebra M_{n}(R,d,T) of the full nxn matrix algebra M_{n}(R)…

The left regular band structure on a hyperplane arrangement and its representation theory provide an important connection between semigroup theory and algebraic combinatorics. A finite semigroup embeds in a real hyperplane face monoid if…

Given the integers $0<r_1<\dots<r_k$, we consider the shifted family of semigroups $M_n=\langle n, n+r_1,\dots, n+r_k\rangle$, where $n>0$. For sufficiently large $n$, we prove that if $M_n$ is nearly Gorenstein or almost symmetric, then so…

We have seen that if \phi: M_n(\C) \rightarrow M_n(\C) is a unital q-positive map and \nu is a type II Powers weight, then the boundary weight double (\phi, \nu) induces a unique (up to conjugacy) type II_0 E_0-semigroup. Let \phi: M_n(\C)…

Using parafermionic field theoretical methods, the fundamentals of 2d fractional supersymmetry ${\bf Q}^{K} =P$ are set up. Known difficulties induced by methods based on the $U_{q}(sl(2))$ quantum group representations and non commutative…

We prove the existence of a common eigenvector for commutative, nilpotent and quasinilpotent semigroups of matrices with complex or real nonnegative entries both in the conventional and tropical linear algebra.

The space of $n \times m$ complex matrices can be regarded as an algebraic variety on which the group ${\bf GL}_n \times {\bf GL}_m$ acts. There is a rich interaction between geometry and representation theory in this example. In an…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$, $A=K[[Y]]$ be a power series ring in one variable and $Q(A)$ be the field of fraction of $A$. Suppose that $R=A[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ is a standard $\mathbb{N}^n$-graded polynomial ring over $A$, i.e.,…

Consider the following generalization of the bicyclic monoid. Let $\kappa$ be any infinite cardinal and let $\mathcal{IP\!F}\left(\sigma{\mathbb{N}^\kappa}\right)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the…

A numerical semigroup is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers. In this paper, we consider parametrized families of numerical semigroups of the form $P_n = \langle f_1(n), \ldots, f_k(n) \rangle$ for polynomial functions…

We show that each of the Artin groups of type $B_n$ and $D_n$ can be presented as a semidirect product $F \rtimes {\cal B}_n$, where $F$ is a free group and ${\cal B}_n$ is the $n$-string braid group. We explain how these semidirect product…

In this paper, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the set of biclosed sets in an irreducible root system of type $A_n$ and the set of quasitrivial semigroup structures on a set with $n+1$ elements. Building on this…
