Let $(X,\bullet )$ be a groupoid (binary algebra) and $Bin(X\dot{)}$ denote the collection of all groupoids defined on $X$. We introduce two methods of factorization for this binary system under the binary groupoid product \textquotedblleft…

Let X be a set and Bin(X) the set of all binary operations on X. We say that a subset of Bin(X) is a distributive set of operations if all pairs of elements are right distributive. J.Przytycki posed the question of which groups can be…

A semigroup $X$ is $absolutely$ (resp. $injectively$) $T_1S$-$closed$ if for any (injective) homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ to a $T_1$ topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$, the image $h[X]$ is closed in $Y$. We prove that a commutative semigroup…

We prove a conjecture due to Baumgaertel and Lledo according to which for every compact group G one has Z(G)^ \cong C(G), where the `chain group' C(G) is the free abelian group (written multiplicatively) generated by the set G^ of…

Let $G$ be a group and let $R$ be a $G$-graded ring. We show that a nonzero central idempotent in $R$ has finite support group in two broad settings: when $G$ is abelian, and when $G$ is arbitrary but the grading satisfies a certain…

We introduce the notion of fibred action of a group bundle on a C(X)-algebra. By using such a notion, a characterization in terms of induced C*-bundles is given for C*-dynamical systems such that the relative commutant of the fixed-point…

In Hai-Thin (2009), there is a theorem, stating that every locally nilpotent subnormal subgroup in a division ring $D$ is central (see Hai-Thin (2009, Th. 2.2)). Unfortunately, there is some mistake in the proof of this theorem. In this…

Let $D$ be a division ring with infinite center, $n$ be a positive integer and $w(x_1,x_2,\cdots, x_m)=1$ be a generalized group identity over the general linear group $\GL_n(D)$. The aim of this paper is to prove that every subnormal…

Let $S$ be a Dedekind scheme, $X$ a connected $S$-scheme locally of finite type and $x\in X(S)$ a section. The aim of the present paper is to establish the existence of the fundamental group scheme of $X$, when $X$ has reduced fibers or…

Suppose that a binary operation $\circ$ on a finite set $X$ is injective in each variable separately and also associative. It is easy to prove that $(X,\circ)$ must be a group. In this paper we examine what happens if one knows only that a…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called (1) $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in every topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a discrete subsemigroup, (2) $ideally$ $\mathcal…

A subset A of a semigroup S is called a medial subset of S if xaby is in A if and only if xbay is in A for every elements x, y, a, b of S. In the paper we show how we can construct the commutative monoid congruences of a semigroup S by the…

In this short note we study the center ZB of a block B of a finite group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic through its Loewy length llZB. A result of Okuyama in 1981 gave an upper bound for llZB in terms of defect…

In this paper, continuous binary operations of a topological space are studied and a criterion of their invertibility is proved. The classification problem of groups of invertible continuous binary operations of locally compact and locally…

In this paper, we show that the center of every Coxeter group is finite and isomorphic to $(\Z_2)^n$ for some $n\ge 0$. Moreover, for a Coxeter system $(W,S)$, we prove that $Z(W)=Z(W_{S\setminus\tilde{S}})$ and $Z(W_{\tilde{S}})=1$, where…

In this paper, we investigate the fixed-point set of an element of a CAT(0) group in its boundary. Suppose that a group $G$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space $X$. Let $g\in G$ and let $\mathcal{F}_g$ be the fixed-point set of $g$ in the…

In this paper, we introduce notions of $J$-set near zero and $C$-set near zero for a dense subsemigroup of $((0,+\infty),+)$ and obtain some results for them. Also we derive the Central Sets Theorem near zero.

Following the literature, a group $G$ is called a group of central type if $G$ has an irreducible character that vanishes on $G\setminus Z(G)$. Motivated by this definition, we say that a character $\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)$ has central type if…

We define the class of rigid Frobenius algebras in a (non-semisimple) modular category and prove that their categories of local modules are, again, modular. This generalizes previous work of A. Kirillov, Jr. and V. Ostrik [Adv. Math. 171…

It has been shown in previous work that the modular group acts projectively on the center of a factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra. The center is the zeroth Hochschild cohomology group. In this article, we extend this projective action of the…
