The set of idempotents of any semigroup carries the structure of a biordered set, which contains a great deal of information concerning the idempotent generated subsemigroup of the semigroup in question. This leads to the construction of a…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group defined over $\mathbb F_q$. Fix an integer $M\geq 2$, and consider the power map $x\mapsto x^M$ on $G$. We denote the image of $G(\mathbb F_q)$ under this map by $G(\mathbb F_q)^M$ and estimate what…
We prove the following results: (1) Every group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup. (2) Every finitely presented group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup arising from a finite…
Functorial semi-norms are semi-normed refinements of functors such as singular (co)homology. We investigate how different types of representability affect the (non-)triviality of finite functorial semi-norms on certain functors or classes.…
It was proved by Oliveira and Silva (2005) that every finitely generated inverse subsemigroup of the monogenic free inverse semigroup $FI_1$ is finitely presented. The present paper continues this development, and gives generating sets and…
In this paper, a group is called weakly amenable if its left regular representation is not uniformly isolated from the trivial representation. First examples of finitely generated non-amenable weakly amenable groups are constructed.
The weak commutativity group $\chi(G)$ is generated by two isomorphic groups $G$ and $G^{\varphi }$ subject to the relations $[g,g^{\varphi}]=1$ for all $g \in G$. We obtain new expressions for the terms of the derived series and the lower…
Let $X$ be a set and $\mathcal{T}_X$ be the full transformation semigroup on $X$. For a partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $X$, we consider semigroups $T(X, \mathcal{P}) = \{f\in \mathcal{T}_X| (\forall X_i\in \mathcal{P}) (\exists X_j \in…
We study automaton structures, i.e. groups, monoids and semigroups generated by an automaton, which, in this context, means a deterministic finite-state letter-to-letter transducer. Instead of considering only complete automata, we…
The category of all idempotent generated semigroups with a prescribed structure $\mathcal{E}$ of their idempotents $E$ (called the biordered set) has an initial object called the free idempotent generated semigroup over $\mathcal{E}$,…
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…
A semigroup generated by two dimensional $C^{1+\alpha}$ contracting maps is considered. We call a such semigroup regular if the maximum $K$ of the conformal dilatations of generators, the maximum $l$ of the norms of the derivatives of…
We characterise the elements of the (maximum) idempotent generated subsemigroup of the Kauffman monoid in terms of combinatorial data associated to certain normal forms. We also calculate the smallest size of a generating set and idempotent…
A semigroup $S$ is called a weakly exponential semigroup if, for every couple $(a,b)\in S\times S$ and every positive integer $n$, there is a non-negative integer $m$ such that $(ab)^{n+m}=a^nb^n(ab)^m=(ab)^ma^nb^n$. A semigroup $S$ is…
For a sequence of uniformly bounded, degenerate semigroups on a Hilbert space, we compare various types of convergences to a limit semigroup. Among others, we show that convergence of the semigroups, or of the resolvents of the generators,…
We say that a subset $X$ quasi-isometrically boundedly generates a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ if each element $\gamma$ of a finite-index subgroup of $\Gamma$ can be written as a product $\gamma = x_1 x_2 \cdots x_r$ of a bounded…
The variant of a semigroup S with respect to an element a in S, denoted S^a, is the semigroup with underlying set S and operation * defined by x*y=xay for x,y in S. In this article, we study variants T_X^a of the full transformation…
Let $X$ be a nonempty set and $\mathcal{P}=\{X_i\colon i\in I\}$ a partition of $X$. Denote by $T(X)$ the full transformation semigroup on $X$, and $T(X, \mathcal{P})$ the subsemigroup of $T(X)$ consisting of all transformations that…
A quasi-semiregular element in a permutation group is an element that has a unique fixed point and acts semiregularly on the remaining points. Such elements were first studied in the context of automorphisms of graphs and occur naturally in…
Given a connected linear algebraic group $G$, we descrive the subgroup of $G$ generated by all semisimple elements.
