If $\mathcal{C}$ is a category of algebras closed under finite direct products, and $M_\mathcal{C}$ the commutative monoid of isomorphism classes of members of $\mathcal{C},$ with operation induced by direct product, A.Tarski defined a…

If $R$ is a topological ring then $R^{\ast}$, the group of units of $R$, with the subspace topology is not necessarily a topological group. This leads us to the following natural definition: By an \emph{absolute topological ring} we mean a…

A subset $A$ of a semigroup $S$ is called a $chain$ ($antichain$) if $xy\in\{x,y\}$ ($xy\notin\{x,y\}$) for any (distinct) elements $x,y\in S$. A semigroup $S$ is called ($anti$)$chain$-$finite$ if $S$ contains no infinite (anti)chains. We…

Let $G$ be an abelian group, and $F$ a downward directed family of subsets of $G$. The finest topology $\mathcal{T}$ on $G$ under which $F$ converges to $0$ has been described by I.Protasov and E.Zelenyuk. In particular, their description…

We study the semigroup extension $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ by symmetric inverse semigroups of a bounded finite rank. We describe idempotents and regular elements of the semigroups $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ and…

Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…

We describe a special class of representations of an inverse semigroup S on Hilbert's space which we term "tight". These representations are supported on a subset of the spectrum of the idempotent semilattice of S, called the "tight…

A group action H on X is called "telescopic" if for any finitely presented group G, there exists a subgroup H' in H such that G is isomorphic to the fundamental group of X/H'. We construct examples of telescopic actions on some CAT[-1]…

In this paper, we consider an equivalence relation within the class of finitely presented discrete groups attending to their asymptotic topology rather than their asymptotic geometry. More precisely, we say that two finitely presented…

We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse $\omega$-semigroups with compact maximal subgroups. In particular, we show that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse…

We introduce the {\it Ellis semigroup} of a nonautonomous discrete dynamical system $(X,f_{1,\infty})$ when $X$ is a metric compact space. The underlying set of this semigroup is the pointwise closure of $\{f\sp{n}_1 \, |\, n\in…

A pointwise-elliptic subset of a topological group is one whose elements all generate relatively-compact subgroups. A connected locally compact group has a dense pointwise-elliptic subgroup if and only if it is an extension by a compact…

We study the structure of inverse primitive feebly compact semitopological and topological semigroups. We find conditions when the maximal subgroup of an inverse primitive feebly compact semitopological semigroup $S$ is a closed subset of…

The epireflective subcategories of ${\bold{Top}}$, that are closed under epimorphic (or bimorphic) images, are $\{X \mid |X| \le 1 \} $, $\{X \mid X$ is indiscrete$\} $ and ${\bold{Top}}$. The epireflective subcategories of…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

The symmetric inverse semigroup $I(X)$ on a set $X$ is the collection of all partial bijections between subsets of $X$ with composition as the algebraic operation. We study a minimal Hausdorff inverse semigroup topologies on $I(X)$. When…

Let $G=\Gamma(S)$ be a semigroup graph, i.e., a zero-divisor graph of a semigroup $S$ with zero element 0. For any adjacent vertices $x, y$ in $G$, denote $C(x,y)={z\in V(G) | N(z)={x,y}}$. Assume that in $G$ there exist two adjacent…

In this paper, it is shown that a topological space $X$ is compact iff every maximal ideal of the power set ring $\mathcal{P}(X)$ converges to exactly one point of $X$. Then as an application, simple and ring-theoretic proofs are provided…

The Isbell, compact-open and point-open topologies on the set $C(X,\mathbb{R})$ of continuous real-valued maps can be represented as the dual topologies with respect to some collections $\alpha(X)$ of compact families of open subsets of a…

Let $\mathcal{Z(R)}$ be the set of zero divisor elements of a commutative ring $R$ with identity and $\mathcal{M}$ be the space of minimal prime ideals of $R$ with Zariski topology. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is called strongly dense ideal or…
