We give extensions of results on nonnegative matrix semigroups which deduce finiteness or boundedness of such semigroups from the corresponding local properties, e.g., from finiteness or boundedness of values of certain linear functionals…

A semiring generalises the notion of a ring, replacing the additive abelian group structure with that of a commutative monoid. In this paper, we study a notion positioned between a ring and a semiring -- a semiring whose additive monoid is…

Let $R$ be a ring, let $G$ be an amenable group and let $R\ast G$ be a crossed product. The goal of this paper is to construct, starting with a suitable additive function $L$ on the category of left modules over $R$, an additive function on…

We give explicit axioms for the algebraic theory of the quasivarieties of right-preordered groups and preordered groups. We then look at lattices of effective equivalence relations, which turn out to be similar to the lattices of…

We construct a metrizable semitopological semilattice $X$ whose partial order $P=\{(x,y)\in X\times X:xy=x\}$ is a non-closed dense subset of $X\times X$. As a by-product we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a…

Orbital semilattices are introduced as bounded semilattices that are, in addition, equipped with an outer multiplication (a semigroup action) and diagonals (a concept borrowed from cylindric algebra), where each semilattice element has a…

Motivated by appearance of multisemigroups in the study of additive $2$-categories, we define and investigate the notion of a multisemigroup with multiplicities. This notion seems to be better suitable for applications in higher…

In this paper we give an algebraic characterization of assemblies in terms of bands of groups. We also consider substructures and homomorphisms of assemblies. We give many examples and counterexamples.

We consider metric ultraproducts of finite groups with respect to some classes of length functions. All sofic groups embed into these ultraproducts. We study embeddings of normed groups. We also show that in some natural situations such an…

Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup of $G$. This note introduces an equivalent definition of hyperbolic embedded subgroup based on Bowditch's approach to relatively hyperbolic groups in terms of fine graphs.

A semigroup is completely simple if it has no proper ideals and contains a primitive idempotent. We say that a completely simple semigroup $S$ is a homogeneous completely simple semigroup if any isomorphism between finitely generated…

We introduce a new notion of twisted actions of inverse semigroups and show that they correspond bijectively to certain regular Fell bundles over inverse semigroups, yielding in this way a structure classification of such bundles. These…

We define the notion of a partial action on a generalized Boolean algebra and associate to every such system and commutative unital ring $R$ an $R$-algebra. We prove that every strongly $E^{\ast}$-unitary inverse semigroup has an associated…

The structure of the coincidence symmetry group of an arbitrary $n$-dimensional lattice in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered by describing a set of generators. Particular attention is given to the coincidence isometry…

For a left vector space V over a totally ordered division ring F, let Co(V) denote the lattice of convex subsets of V. We prove that every lattice L can be embedded into Co(V) for some left F-vector space V. Furthermore, if L is finite…

A subsemigroup $S$ of an inverse semigroup $Q$ is a left I-order in $Q$ if every element in $Q$ can be written as $a^{-1}b$ where $a,b \in S$ and $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$ in the sense of inverse semigroup theory. If we insist on $a$…

Delorme suggested that the set of all complete intersection numerical semigroups can be computed recursively. We have implemented this algorithm, and particularized it to several subfamilies of this class of numerical semigroups: free and…

This paper touches on several interaction points of semigroups and constructions from category theory: An adjunction is established between categories with selected arrows and semigroups. Regular semigroups are characterized by split epi -…

We devise exact conditions under which a join semilattice with a weak contact relation can be semilattice embedded into a Boolean algebra with an overlap contact relation, equivalently, into a distributive lattice with additive contact…

We obtain an ESN theorem for a very general class of biunary semigroups with idempotent-valued domain and range operations, representing them in terms of small categories equipped with a suitable biaction of the identities on the category.…
