Every semigroup containing an ideal subgroup is called a homogroup, and it is a grouplike if and only if it has only one central idempotent. On the other hand, a class of algebraic structures covering group-$e$-semigroups…
We show that many important varieties and sets of varieties of semigroups may be defined by relatively simple and transparent first-order formulas in the lattice of all semigroup varieties.
This article concerns Ehresmann structures in the partition monoid $P_X$. Since $P_X$ contains the symmetric and dual symmetric inverse monoids on the same base set $X$, it naturally contains the semilattices of idempotents of both…
We discuss the relationship between tight and cover-to-join representations of semilattices and inverse semigroups, showing that a slight extension of the former, together with an appropriate selection of co-domains, makes the two notions…
Locally inverse semigroups are regular semigroups whose idempotents form pseudo-semilattices. We characterise the categories that correspond to locally inverse semigroups in the realm of Nambooripad's cross-connection theory. Further, we…
A hemiimplicative semilattice is a bounded semilattice $(A, \wedge, 1)$ endowed with a binary operation $\to$, satisfying that for every $a, b, c \in A$, $a \leq b \to c$ implies $a \wedge b \leq c$ (that is to say, one of the conditionals…
We describe general methods for enumerating subsemigroups of finite semigroups and techniques to improve the algorithmic efficiency of the calculations. As a particular application we use our algorithms to enumerate all transformation…
Let $T(X)$ (resp. L(V)) be the semigroup of all transformations (resp. linear transformations) of a set $X$ (resp. vector space $V$). For a subset $Y$ of $X$ and a subsemigroup $\mathbb{S}(Y)$ of $T(Y)$, consider the subsemigroup…
Ideal series of semigroups play an important role in the examination of semigroups which have proper two-sided ideals. But the corresponding theorems cannot be used when left simple (or right simple or simple) semigroups are considered. So…
The paper is an overview of recent results on algebraic structures (semigroups, groupoids, algebras, inverse semigroups, and groups) associated with objects with a rich set of partial symmetries. We discuss etale groupoids and inverse…
We consider semigroups of transformations (partial mappings defined on a set $A$) closed under the set-theoretic intersection of mappings treated as subsets of $A\times A$. On such semigroups we define two relations: the relation of…
Given a monoid $S$ with $E$ any non-empty subset of its idempotents, we present a novel one-sided version of idempotent completion we call left $E$-completion. In general, the construction yields a one-sided variant of a small category…
In this paper we provide an overview of the class of inverse semigroups $S$ such that every congruence on $S$ relates at least one idempotent to a non-idempotent; such inverse semigroups are called $E$-disjunctive. This overview includes…
Two semigroups are lattice isomorphic if the lattices of their subsemigroups are isomorphic, and a class of semigroups is lattice closed if it contains every semigroup which is lattice isomorphic to some semigroup from that class. An…
Here we introduce the notion of (left, right) $\pi$-$t$-simple, right $\pi$-inverse ordered semigroups and discuss characterizations and relationships concerning them. Semilattice decomposition of left $\pi$-$t$-simple ordered semigroups…
Let $Q$ be an inverse semigroup. A subsemigroup $S$ of $Q$ is a left I-order in $Q$ and $Q$ is a semigroup of left I-quotients of $S$ if every element in $Q$ can be written as $a^{-1}b$, where $a, b \in S$ and $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$…
We investigate classifications of quasitrivial semigroups defined by certain equivalence relations. The subclass of quasitrivial semigroups that preserve a given total ordering is also investigated. In the special case of finite semigroups,…
We develop a theory of twisted actions of categorical groups using a notion of semidirect product of categories. We work through numerous examples to demonstrate the power of these notions. Turning to representations, which are actions that…
We study classes of proper restriction semigroups determined by properties of partial actions underlying them. These properties include strongness, antistrongness, being defined by a homomorphism, being an action etc. Of particular interest…
A subsemigroup S of a semigroup Q is a left order in Q and Q is a semigroup of left quotients of S if every element of Q can be expressed as a# b where a and b are elements of S and if, in addition, every element of S that is square…
