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…
This collection presents a selected set of unsolved problems in semigroup theory, a fundamental branch of modern algebra. The publication is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the birth of E. S. Lyapin, one of the founders of the field…
This note contains a report of a proof by computer that the Fibonacci group F(2,9) is automatic. The automatic structure can be used to solve the word problem in the group. Furthermore, it can be seen directly from the word-acceptor that…
Every mathematician is familiar with the beautiful structure of finite commutative groups. What is less well known is that finite commutative semigroups also have a neat and well-described structure. We prove this in an efficient fashion.…
We show that an infinite residually finite boundedly generated group has an infinite chain of finite index subgroups with ranks uniformly bounded, and give (sublinear) upper bounds on the ranks of arbitrary finite index subgroups of…
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…
We develop a general approach to the study of maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of finite semigroups. This approach can be used to recover many known classifications of maximal nilpotent subsemigroups, in particular, for the symmetric inverse…
In this paper we study the regular semigroups weakly generated by a single element x, that is, with no proper regular subsemigroup containing x. We show there exists a regular semigroup $F_1$ weakly generated by x such that all other…
This is the written version of the Bourbaki seminar given in January 2013 and published in 2014 (modulo an additional early reference added subsequently). It describes the first construction of infinite, finitely generated amenable simple…
Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra. In the first part, we give asymptotic results about $M$-stable sequences of weak*-continuous mappings which are related with operators belonging to $M$. In the second part, we extend, by a shorter…
It is shown that there exist finitely generated infinite simple groups of infinite commutator width and infinite square width on which there exists no stably unbounded conjugation-invariant norm, and in particular stable commutator length…
We prove the conjugacy of Sylow $2$-subgroups in pseudofinite $\mathfrak{M}_c$ (in particular linear) groups under the assumption that there is at least one finite Sylow $2$-subgroup. We observe the importance of the pseudofiniteness…
A regular semigroup is weakly generated by a set X if it has no proper regular subsemigroups containing X. In this paper, we study the regular semigroups weakly generated by idempotents. We show there exists a regular semigroup FI(X) weakly…
A recipe for obtaining finitely presented abelian-by-nilpotent groups is given. It relies on a geometric procedure that generalizes the construction of finitely presented metabelian groups introduced by R. Bieri and R. Strebel in 1980.
This paper presents a novel approach to constructing finite generating sets for infinitely generated ideals. By integrating algebraic and computational techniques, we provide a method to identify finite generators, demonstrated through…
For every group $G$, the set $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of its subsets forms a semiring under set-theoretical union $\cup$ and element-wise multiplication $\cdot$ and forms an involution semigroup under $\cdot$ and element-wise inversion ${}^{-1}$.…
Motivated by a question of Stover, we discuss an example of a Zariski-dense finitely generated subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_5(\mathbb{Z})$ that is not finitely presented.
This paper studies effective separability for subgroups of finitely generated nilpotent groups and more broadly effective subgroup separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We provide upper and lower bounds that are polynomial…
We say a group is finitely annihilated if it is the set-theoretic union of all its proper normal finite index subgroups. We investigate this new property, and observe that it is independent of several other well known group properties. For…
We investigate numerical semigroups generated by any quadratic sequence with initial term zero and an infinite number of terms. We find an efficient algorithm for calculating the Ap\'ery set, as well as bounds on the elements of the Ap\'ery…
