We study arithmetic properties of factorizations of elements into products of generators, in monoids given with explicit presentations. After relating and comparing this perspective to the more usual approach of factoring into products of…
The full transformation semigroups $\mathcal{T}_n$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$, consisting of all maps from a set of cardinality $n$ to itself, are arguably the most important family of finite semigroups. This article investigates the…
We survey results concerning special elements of nine types (modular, lower-modular, upper-modular, cancellable, distributive, codistributive, standard, costandard and neutral elements) in the lattice of all semigroup varieties and certain…
We introduce a monomial ideal whose standard monomials encode the vertices of all fibers of a lattice. We study the minimal generators, the radical, the associated primes and the primary decomposition of this ideal, as well as its relation…
A minimal (by inclusion) generating set for the algebra of semi-invariants of a quiver of dimension (2,...,2) is established over an infinite field of arbitrary characteristic. The mentioned generating set consists of the determinants of…
In 2008, L\'aszl\'o Z\'adori proved that the lattice Sub$(V)$ of all subspaces of a vector space $V$ of finite dimension at least 3 over a finite field $F$ has a 5-element generating set; in other words, Sub$(V)$ is 5-generated. We prove…
We transform the method of Glasson into a sufficient condition under which a monoid is non-finitely related, add a new member to the collection of interlocking word-patterns, and use it to show that the monoid $M(ab^2a, a^2b^2)$ is…
We consider the general question of how the homological finiteness property left-FPn holding in a monoid influences, and conversely depends on, the property holding in the substructures of that monoid. In particular we show that left-FPn is…
A group is Markov if it admits a prefix-closed regular language of unique representatives with respect to some generating set, and strongly Markov if it admits such a language of unique minimal-length representatives over every generating…
We show that any graph product of residually finite monoids is residually finite. As a special case we obtain that any free product of residually finite monoids is residually finite. The corresponding results for graph products of…
In this paper, we prove that infinite cancellative finitely generated hyperbolic monoids never contain $\mathbb N\times\mathbb N$ as a submonoid but that they contain an element of infinite order and, if they are elementary, then they also…
A brick is a 3-connected graph such that the graph obtained from it by deleting any two distinct vertices has a perfect matching. A brick is minimal if for every edge e the deletion of e results in a graph that is not a brick. We prove a…
We prove that in the varieties where every compact congruence is a factor congruence and every nontrivial algebra contains a minimal subalgebra, a finitely presented algebra is projective if and only if it has every minimal algebra as its…
The present paper is a continuation of \cite{jrz} and is devoted to the study of limit varieties of additively idempotent semirings. A limit variety is a nonfinitely based variety whose proper subvarieties are all finitely based. We present…
Let R be a ring, M a nonzero left R-module, X an infinite set, and E the endomorphism ring of the direct sum of copies of M indexed by X. Given two subrings S and S' of E, we will say that S is equivalent to S' if there exists a finite…
The rank of a finite semigroup is the smallest number of elements required to generate the semigroup. A formula is given for the rank of an arbitrary (non necessarily regular) Rees matrix semigroup over a group. The formula is expressed in…
We study generalized splines from the perspective of the representation theory of the category of graphs with contractions. Our main theorem proves a kind of finite generation, which in turn implies the existence of a ``universal generating…
This paper is devoted to the generalization of the construction of minimal varieties from the previous work of Meng Chen, Chen Jiang and Binru Li. We first establish several effective nefness criterions for the canonical divisor of weighted…
A finite group $G$ is called *uniformly generated*, if whenever there is a (strictly ascending) chain of subgroups $1<\langle x_1\rangle<\langle x_1,x_2\rangle <\cdots<\langle x_1,x_2,\dots,x_d\rangle=G$, then $d$ is the minimal number of…
We show that the number of conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of a lattice in a semisimple Lie group is linearly bounded by the covolume of the lattice. Moreover, for higher rank groups, we show that this number grows sublinearly…
