Groups are usually axiomatized as algebras with an associative binary operation, a two-sided neutral element, and with two-sided inverses. We show in this note that the same simplicity of axioms can be achieved for some of the most…
In this article it is proved that for every special AJW-algebra $A$ there exist central projections $e$, $f$, $g\in A$, $e+f+g=1$ such that (1) $eA$ is reversible and there exists a norm-closed two sided ideal $I$ of $C^*(eA)$ such that…
Let $A\subseteq B$ be a $C^*$-inclusion. We give efficient conditions under which $A$ separates ideals in $B$, and $B$ is purely infinite if every positive element in $A$ is properly infinite in $B$. We specialise to the case when $B$ is a…
We show that if a subsemigroup $S$ of the bicyclic monoid ${\mathscr{C}}(p,q)$ contains infinitely many idempotents then $S$ admits only the discrete Hausdorff shift-continuous topology. Also we proof that every right-continuous…
Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $\delta(R)$ denote the Zhou radical of $R$. A ring $R$ is called {\it $\delta$-reversible} if for any $a$, $b \in R$, $ab = 0$ implies $ba \in \delta(R)$. In this paper, we give some properties of…
The dual symmetric inverse monoid $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ is the inverse monoid of all isomorphisms between quotients of an $n$-set. We give a monoid presentation of $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ and, along the way, establish criteria for a monoid to be…
We define here the notion of a {\it weakly reversible ring} $R$ saying that a non-zero element $a\in R$ is weakly reversible if there exists an integer $m>0$ depending on $a$ such that $a^m\neq 0$ is reversible, that is,…
We present new additive results for the group invertibility in a ring. Then we apply our results to block operator matrices over Banach spaces and derive the existence of group inverses of $2\times 2$ block operator matrices. These…
We examine, in a general setting, a notion of inverse semigroup of left quotients, which we call left I-quotients. This concept has appeared, and has been used, as far back as Clifford's seminal work describing bisimple inverse monoids in…
The theory of generalized inverses of matrices and operators is closely connected with projections, i.e., idempotent (bounded) linear transformations. We show that a similar situation occurs in any associative ring $\mathcal{R}$ with a unit…
In this note we prove a selection of commutativity theorems for various classes of semigroups. For instance, if in a separative or completely regular semigroup $S$ we have $x^p y^p = y^p x^p$ and $x^q y^q = y^q x^q$ for all $x,y\in S$ where…
Let $G$ be a group. We say that an element $f\in G$ is {\em reversible in} $G$ if it is conjugate to its inverse, i.e. there exists $g\in G$ such that $g^{-1}fg=f^{-1}$. We denote the set of reversible elements by $R(G)$. For $f\in G$, we…
In an earlier work, the author observed that Boolean inverse semi-groups, with semigroup homomorphisms preserving finite orthogonal joins, form a congruence-permutable variety of algebras, called biases. We give a full description of…
We argue that weak containment is an appropriate notion of amenability for inverse semigroups. Given an inverse semigroup $S$ and a homomorphism $\phi$ of $S$ onto a group $G$, we show, under an assumption on $\ker(\phi)$, that $S$ has weak…
In this paper, we study the Moore-Penrose inverses of differences and products of projectors in a ring with involution. Also, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such inverses are given, and their expressions are…
In the general setting of the adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules, this paper deals mainly with the weighted Moore-Penrose (briefly weighted M-P) inverse $A^\dag_{MN}$ in the case that the weights $M$ and $N$ are self-adjoint…
Let g be a simple Lie algebra, with fixed Borel subalgebra b and with Weyl group W. Expanding on previous work of Fan and Stembridge in the simply laced case, this note aims to study the fully commutative elements of W, and their…
An elementary proof of the two-sidedness of the matrix-inverse is given using only linear independence and the reduced row-echelon form of a matrix. In addition, it is shown that a matrix is invertible if and only if it is row-equivalent to…
The purpose of this paper is to study the generalization of inverse semigroups (without order). An ordered semigroup S is called an inverse ordered semigroup if for every a 2 S, any two inverses of a are H-related. We prove that an ordered…
A poset ${\mathbb{P}}$ is called reversible iff every bijective homomorphism $f:{\mathbb{P}} \rightarrow {\mathbb{P}}$ is an automorphism. Let ${\mathcal{W}}$ and ${\mathcal{W}} ^*$ denote the classes of well orders and their inverses…
