We introduce the class of strongly sofic monoids. This class of monoids strictly contains the class of sofic groups and is a proper subclass of the class of sofic monoids. We define and investigate sofic topological entropy for actions of…

We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…

We present a procedure to enumerate the whole set of numerical semigroups with a given Frobenius number F, S(F). The methodology is based on the construction of a partition of S(F) by a congruence relation. We identify exactly one…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a perfect field $k$. We study a certain normal reductive monoid $\overline M$ associated to a parabolic $k$-subgroup $P$ of $G$. The group of units of $\overline M$ is the Levi factor $M$ of $P$.…

Let $G$ be a countable cancellative amenable semigroup and let $(F_n)$ be a (left) F{\o}lner sequence in $G$. We introduce the notion of an $(F_n)$-normal element of $\{0,1\}^G$. When $G$ = $(\mathbb N,+)$ and $F_n = \{1,2,...,n\}$, the…

Several elementary properties of the symmetric group $S_n$ extend in a nice way to the full transformation monoid $M_n$ of all maps of the set $X:=\{1,2,3,\dots,n\}$ into itself. The group $S_n$ turns out to be in some sense the torsion…

Let $C\subset\mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer polyhedral cone. An affine semigroup $S\subset C$ is a $ C$-semigroup if $| C\setminus S|<+\infty$. This structure has always been studied using a monomial order. The main issue is that the choice of…

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,…

The local structures of enveloping semigroups of simple groups are investigated. All J-coirreducible connected stabilizer submonoids are determined. The notion of a navel of a reductive monoid is introduced. The cross-section lattice of the…

This paper discusses the generalized congruence equation $X^tAX=B$, for $X \in M_n(k)$ over any field $k$, through the action of monoid $Sol_A \times Sol_B := \{X \ | \ X^tAX = A\} \times \{X \ | \ X^tBX = B\}$. We have completely…

For a given inverse semigroup, one can associate an \'etale groupoid which is called the universal groupoid. Our motivation is studying the relation between inverse semigroups and associated \'etale groupoids. In this paper, we focus on…

We investigate complement-finite submonoids of the monoid of nonnegative integer points of a unipotent linear algebraic group $G$. These monoids are in general noncommutative but they specialize to the generalized numerical monoids of…

The paper studies the lattice of subgroups of an isotropic reductive group G(R) over a commutative ring R, normalized by the elementary subgroup E(R). We prove the sandwich classification theorem for this lattice under the assumptions that…

The purpose of this article is to investigate the combinatorial properties of the cross section lattice of a $J$-irreducible monoid associated with a semisimple algebraic group of one of the types $A_n$, $B_n$, or $C_n$. Our main tool is a…

We study classes of proper restriction semigroups determined by properties of partial actions underlying them. These properties include strongness, antistrongness, being defined by a homomorphism, being an action etc. Of particular interest…

The computation of the normaliser of a permutation group in the full symmetric group is an important and hard problem in computational group theory. This article reports on an algorithm that builds a descending chain of overgroups to…

We announce various results concerning the structure of compactly generated simple locally compact groups. We introduce a local invariant, called the structure lattice, which consists of commensurability classes of compact subgroups with…

Consider an algebraic semigroup $S$ and its closed subscheme of idempotents, $E(S)$. When $S$ is commutative, we show that $E(S)$ is finite and reduced; if in addition $S$ is irreducible, then $E(S)$ is contained in a smallest closed…

Abstract. This article determines relations between two notions concerning monoids: factorability structure, introduced to simplify the bar complex; and quadratic normalisation, introduced to generalise quadratic rewriting systems and…

A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right $S$-act is finitely presented. This is a finiteness condition, and we investigate whether or not it is preserved under some standard…
