We define the category of partitioned binary relations and show that it contains many classical diagram categories, including categories of binary relations, maps, injective maps, partitions, (oriented) Brauer diagrams and (oriented)…

The Temperley-Lieb and Brauer algebras and their cyclotomic analogues, as well as the partition algebra, are all examples of twisted semigroup algebras. We prove a general theorem about the cellularity of twisted semigroup algebras of…

Let ${\mathcal P}{\mathcal M}^\alpha_s$ be a moduli space of stable parabolic vector bundles of rank $n \geq 2$ and fixed determinant of degree $d$ over a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g(X) \geq 2$. If $g(X) = 2$, then we…

We give a full classification of all braided semisimple tensor categories whose Grothendieck semiring is the one of Rep(O(\infty) (formally), Rep(O(N), Rep(Sp(N) or of one of its associated fusion categories. If the braiding is not…

In this work, we introduce a new class of algebras called skew-Brauer graph algebras, which generalize the well-known Brauer graph algebras. We establish that skew-Brauer graph algebras are symmetric and can be defined using a Brauer graph…

We introduce the notion of a diagram category and discuss its application to the invariant theory of classical groups and super groups, with some indications concerning extensions to quantum groups and quantum super groups. Tensor functors…

A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties are birationally isomorphic if and only if the underlying algebras are the same degree and generate the same cyclic subgroup of the Brauer group. It is known that generating…

A Gelfand model for a semisimple algebra A over C is a complex linear representation that contains each irreducible representation of A with multiplicity exactly one. We give a method of constructing these models that works uniformly for a…

The genus gen(D) of a finite-dimensional central division algebra D over a field F is defined as the collection of classes [D'] in the Brauer group Br(F), where D' is a central division F-algebra having the same maximal subfields as D. For…

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

In this paper, we study commutative zero-divisor semigroups determined by graphs. We prove a uniqueness theorem for a class of graphs. We show two classes of graphs that have no corresponding semigroups. In particular, any complete graph…

A regular bipartite graph $\Gamma$ is called semisymmetric if its full automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ acts transitively on the edge set but not on the vertex set. For a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ that stabilizes the…

In this paper we develop a new groupoid-based structure theory for the class of regular $*$-semigroups. This class occupies something of a `sweet spot' between the important classes of inverse and regular semigroups, and contains many…

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over the field $\mathbb C$, and let $C$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus at least three. We compute the Brauer group of the smooth locus of the moduli space of…

The notion of automatic selfadjointness of all ideals in a multiplicative semigroup of the bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space B(H) arose in a 2015 discussion with Heydar Radjavi who pointed out that B(H) and the finite…

Ara\'ujo, Kinyon and Konieczny (2011) pose several problems concerning the construction of arbitrary commuting graphs of semigroups. We observe that every star-free graph is the commuting graph of some semigroup. Consequently, we suggest…

Various semigroups of noninvertible supermatrices of the special (antitriangle) shape having nilpotent Berezinian which appear in supersymmetric theories are defined and investigated. A subset of them continuously represents left and right…

We classify all isolated, completely isolated, and convex subsemigroups in the semigroup T_n of all transformations of an n-element set, considered as the semigroup with respect to a sandwich operation.

A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group G is called semi-bounded if the corresponding operators id\pi(x) from the derived representations are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of the…

Rook-Brauer algebras are a family of diagram algebras. They contain many interesting subalgebras: rook algebras, Brauer algebras, Motzkin algebras, Temperley-Lieb algebras and symmetric group algebras. In this paper, we generalize the…
