A partial automorphism of a semigroup $S$ is any isomorphism between its subsemigroups, and the set all partial automorphisms of $S$ with respect to composition is the inverse monoid called the partial automorphism monoid of $S$. Two…
Suppose that $G$ is a groupoid acting on a small category $H$ in the sense of \cite[Definition 4]{NOT} and $H\times_\alpha G$ is the resulting semi-direct product category (as in \cite[Proposition 8]{NOT}). We show that there exists a…
Inspired by methods in prime characteristic in commutative algebra, we introduce and study combinatorial invariants of seminormal monoids. We relate such numbers with the singularities and homological invariants of the semigroup ring…
We study categorical models for the unitless fragment of multiplicative linear logic. We find that the appropriate notion of model is a special kind of promonoidal category. Since the theory of promonoidal categories has not been developed…
We curry the elementary arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication to give monotone injections on N, and describe & study the inverse monoids that arise from also considering their generalised inverses. This leads to well-known…
In an additive factorial monoid each element can be represented as a linear combination of irreducible elements (atoms) with uniquely determined coefficients running over all natural numbers. In this paper we develop for a wide class of…
We study the globalization problem for a strong partial action $\alpha$ of a monoid $M$ on a semigroup $X$ via the associated rewriting system $(X_M^+,\to)$. We show that the local confluence of $(X_M^+,\to)$ is sufficient for the…
The aim of this paper is sketch a theory of divisibility and factorisation in topological monoids, where finite products are replaced by convergent products. The algebraic case can then be viewed as the special case of discretely…
Motivated by reconstruction results by Rubin, we introduce a new reconstruction notion for permutation groups, transformation monoids and clones, called automatic action compatibility, which entails automatic homeomorphicity. We further…
A magmoid is a non-empty set with a partial binary operation; group-like magmoids generalize group-like magmas such as semigroups, monoids and groups. In this article, we first consider the many ways in which the notions of associative…
This paper studies the classes of semigoups and monoids with context-free and deterministic context-free word problem. First, some examples are exhibited to clarify the relationship between these classes and their connection with the…
We introduce the notion of the quotient of a category $C$ by the action $A : M \longrightarrow C \times C$ of a unital symmetric monoidal category $M$. The quotient $C/M$ is a 2-category. We prove its existence and uniqueness by first…
Among right-closed monoidal categories with finite coproducts, we characterise those with finite biproducts as being precisely those in which the initial object and the coproduct of the unit with itself admit right duals. This generalises…
The left regular band structure on a hyperplane arrangement and its representation theory provide an important connection between semigroup theory and algebraic combinatorics. A finite semigroup embeds in a real hyperplane face monoid if…
Our main observation is that the contravariant functor Spec on the category of commutative monoids is representable. We discuss a few consequences of this fact. In particular, we give an efficient way of calculating the Spec(M) of a…
Good semigroups form a class of submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^d$ containing the value semigroups of curve singularities. In this article, we describe a partition of the complements of good semigroup ideals, having as main application the…
An (additive) commutative monoid is called atomic if every given non-invertible element can be written as a sum of atoms (i.e., irreducible elements), in which case, such a sum is called a factorization of the given element. The number of…
If $H$ is a numerical semigroup (that is, a cofinite subset of the non-negative integers closed under addition), then the non-empty subsets of $H$ form a semigroup $\mathcal P(H)$ under the sumset operation induced by addition in $H$.…
Let $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ be the submonoid of the bicyclic monoid which is studied in \cite{Makanjuola-Umar=1997}. We describe monoid endomorphisms of the semigroup $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ which are generated by the family of all…
This thesis is dedicated to developing a dilation theory for semigroups of completely positive maps. The first part treats two-parameter semigroups, and contains also contributions to dilation theory of product system representations. The…
