We investigate the question as to when the members of a finite regular semigroup may be permuted in such a way that each member is mapped to one of its inverses. In general this is not possible. However we reformulate the problem in terms…
For a group $G$ acting on a set $X$, let $\text{End}_G(X)$ be the monoid of all $G$-equivariant transformations, or $G$-endomorphisms, of $X$, and let $\text{Aut}_G(X)$ be its group of units. After discussing few basic results in a general…
We show that if the complexity difference function p(n+1)-p(n) of a infinite minimal shift is bounded, then the the automorphism group of the one-sided shift is finite, and the automorphism group of the corresponding two-sided shift "modulo…
We compute two-term skein modules of framed oriented links in oriented 3-manifolds. They contain the self-writhe and total linking number invariants of framed oriented links in a universal way. The relations in a natural presentation of the…
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 introduce and investigate the category $\mathsf{AtoMon}$ of atomic monoids and atom-preserving monoid homomorphisms, which is a (non-full) subcategory of the usual category of monoids. In particular, we compute all limits and colimits,…
We prove a structure result on proper extensions of two-sided restriction semigroups in terms of partial actions, generalizing respective results for monoids and for inverse semigroups and upgrading the latter. We introduce and study…
Let $\mathcal{CT}_n$ be the semigroup of full contraction mappings on $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, and let $\mathcal{OCT}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODCT}_n$ be the subsemigroups consisting of all order-preserving full contraction and subsemigroup of…
A profinite group equipped with an expansive endomorphism is equivalent to a one-sided group shift. We show that these groups have a very restricted structure. More precisely, we show that any such group can be decomposed into a finite…
Pairwise non-isomorphic semigroups obtained from the finite inverse symmetric semigroup $\mathcal{IS}_n ,$ finite symmetric semigroup $\mathcal{T}_n$ and bicyclic semigroup by the deformed multiplication proposed by Ljapin are classified.
In the present paper, a submonoid of the well studied monoid $POI_n$ of all order-preserving partial injections on an $n$-element chain is studied. The set $IOF_n^{par}$ of all partial transformations in $POI_n$ which are fence-preserving…
This paper is a contribution to the theory of finite semigroups and their classification in pseudovarieties, which is motivated by its connections with computer science. The question addressed is what role can play the consideration of an…
Let ${\cal I}_n$ be the symmetric inverse semigroup on $X_n = \{1, 2,..., n\}$ and let ${\cal DDP}_n$ and ${\cal ODDP}_n$ be its subsemigroups of order-decreasing partial isometries and of order-preserving order-decreasing partial…
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…
The aim of this paper is to develop a theory of finite transformation monoids and in particular to study primitive transformation monoids. We introduce the notion of orbitals and orbital digraphs for transformation monoids and prove a…
An m-endomorphism of a free semigroup is an endomorphism that sends every generator to a word of length at most m. Two m-endomorphisms are combinatorially equivalent if they are conjugate under an automorphism of the semigroup. In this…
Let $\mathcal{ORD}_{n}$ be the semigroup consisting of all oriented and order-decreasing full transformations on the finite chain $X_{n}=\{ 1<\cdots<n \}$, and for $1\leq r\leq n-1$, let $$\mathcal{ORD}(n,r) =\{\alpha \in…
Semiuniform semigroups provide a natural setting for the convolution of generalized finite measures on semigroups. A semiuniform semigroup is said to be ambitable if each uniformly bounded uniformly equicontinuous set of functions on the…
We study the semigroup $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_{\omega}^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ of all endomorphisms of the bicyclic extension $\boldsymbol{B}_{\omega}^{\mathscr{F}^2}$ with the two-element family $\mathscr{F}^2$ of inductive…
In this thesis we study the subsemigroup structure of the symmetric inverse monoid $I_X$, the inverse semigroup of bijections between subsets of the set $X$, when $X$ is an infinite set. We explore three different approaches to this task.…
