In this paper, we introduce and explore new classes of S-acts over a monoid S, namely, strongly Hopfian and strongly co-Hopfian acts, as well as their weaker counterparts, Hopfian and co-Hopfian acts. We investigate the relationships…
In this paper, we first introduce the notions of superfluous and coessential subacts. Then hollow and co-uniform S-acts are defined as the acts that all proper subacts are superfluous and coessential, respectively. Also it is indicated that…
In this paper, cogenerating classes of $S$-acts are introduced as those that can be used to cogenerate $S$-acts in an appropriate sense. Next, finitely cogenerated $S$-acts are introduced. Such an $S$-act is then characterized as one whose…
If a finitely generated semigroup S has a hopfian (meaning: every surjective endomorphism is an automorphism) cofinite subsemigroup T then S is hopfian too. This no longer holds if S is not finitely generated. There exists a finitely…
The main purpose of this paper is investigating classes of acts that are injective relative to all embeddings with indecomposable domains or codomains. We give some homological classifications of monoids in light of such kinds of…
This article examines the three-way relationship between right coherency of a monoid $S$, solutions of equations over $S$-acts, and injectivity properties of $S$-acts. A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of…
An $R$-module $M$ is Hopfian (co-Hopfian) if any epic (monic) endomorphism of $M$ is an automorphism. If $R$ is commutative Noetherian, we characterize the co-Hopfian injective $R$-modules, and the Hopfian injectives in the case that $R$ is…
This paper discusses necessary and sufficient conditions on a monoid S, such that the class of C-flat left $S$-acts is axiomatisable, where C is the class of all embeddings (of right ideals into S) of right S-acts. We consider the…
We initiate the study of pseudofiniteness in continuous logic. We introduce a related concept, namely that of pseudocompactness, and investigate the relationship between the two concepts. We establish some basic properties of…
We prove that the Flat Cover Conjecture holds for the category of (right) acts over any right-reversible monoid $S$, provided that the flat $S$-acts are closed under stable Rees extensions. The argument shows that the class…
In this paper, the categorial property of compactness of an object, i. e. commuting of the corresponding $\Hom$ functor with coproducts, is studied in categories of $S$-acts and the corresponding structural properties of compact $S$-acts…
In this paper, we introduce (Rees) artinian S-acts as those acts that satisfy the descending chain condition on their (Rees) congruences. Then, we show that artinian S-acts are those acts whose all factor acts are finitely (Rees)…
We introduce the notion of a ``sofic $\mathcal{C}$-action'' of one group on another by automorphisms, for $\mathcal{C}$ a class of groups. We show that if $\mathcal{C}$ is the class of (i) sofic, (ii) hyperlinear, (iii) linear sofic or (iv)…
We obtain an explicit description of the endomorphisms of free-abelian by free groups together with a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. As a consequence we see that free-abelian by free groups are Hopfian and not…
We exhibit two finitely generated residually finite groups $G$ and $H$ with isomorphic profinite completions $\widehat{G} \cong \widehat{H}$, such that $G$ is co-Hopfian while $H$ is not. The construction utilizes Wise's residually finite…
A group G is (finitely) co-Hopfian if it does not contain any proper (finite-index) subgroups isomorphic to itself. We study finitely generated groups G that admit a descending chain of proper normal finite-index subgroups, each of which is…
We study injective homomorphisms between big mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces. First, we construct (uncountably many) examples of surfaces without boundary whose (pure) mapping class groups are not co-Hopfian; these are the…
A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…
Let a monoid $S$ act on a ring $R$ by injective endomorphisms and $A=A(R,S)$ denote the $S$-Cohn-Jordan extension of $R$. Some results relating finiteness conditions of $R$ and that of $A$ are presented. In particular necessary and…
We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…
