In this paper, we consider various graphs, namely: power graph, cyclic graph, enhanced power graph and commuting graph, on a finite semigroup $S$. For an arbitrary pair of these four graphs, we classify finite semigroups such that the…
We introduce a general notion of $J$-tribe, and construct the $J$-tribe of $J$-frames in a given tribe $\mathcal{T}$, where $J$ a suitable generalized direct category. This construction applies to semi-cubical diagrams for a category of…
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
A partial semigroup is a set with restricted binary operation. In this work we will extend a result due to V. Bergelson and N. Hindman concerning the rich structure presented in the product space of semigroups to partial semigroup. An…
We define the notion of a semicharacter of a group G : A function from the group to C*, whose restriction to any abelian subgroup is a homomorphism. We conjecture that for any finite group, the order of the group of semicharacters is…
This paper is a survey, with few proofs, of ideas and notions related to self-similarity of groups, semi-groups and their actions. It attempts to relate these concepts to more familiar ones, such as fractals, self-similar sets, and…
We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…
Using generating functions, we enumerate regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups. For the general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups this gives a different approach to known results; for the special…
In this paper, we view the collection of ideals of a commutative principal ideal ring from two perspectives: one as an ordered semigroup I(R) and the other as a category I_R . It is shown that I(R) is a regular ordered semigroup whereas I_R…
The most powerful formulation of the Central Sets Theorem in an arbitrary semigroup was proved in the work of De, Hindman, and Strauss. The sets which satisfy the conclusion of the above Central Sets Theorem are called $C$-sets. The…
We investigate classifications of quasitrivial semigroups defined by certain equivalence relations. The subclass of quasitrivial semigroups that preserve a given total ordering is also investigated. In the special case of finite semigroups,…
In a recent work, N. Hindman, D. Strauss and L. Zamboni have shown that the Hales-Jewett theorem can be combined with a sufficiently well behaved homomorphisms. Their work was completely algebraic in nature, where they have used the algebra…
The action of any group on itself by conjugation and the corresponding conjugacy relation play an important role in group theory. There have been several attempts to extend the notion of conjugacy to semigroups. In this paper, we present a…
An almost para-CR structure on a manifold $M$ is given by a distribution $HM \subset TM$ together with a field $K \in \Gamma({\rm End}(HM))$ of involutive endomorphisms of $HM$. If $K$ satisfies an integrability condition, then $(HM,K)$ is…
This paper studies the distribution of the component spectrum of combinatorial structures such as uniform random forests, in which the classical generating function for the numbers of (irreducible) elements of the different sizes converges…
Every mathematician is familiar with the beautiful structure of finite commutative groups. What is less well known is that finite commutative semigroups also have a neat and well-described structure. We prove this in an efficient fashion.…
We investigate numerical semigroups generated by any quadratic sequence with initial term zero and an infinite number of terms. We find an efficient algorithm for calculating the Ap\'ery set, as well as bounds on the elements of the Ap\'ery…
This paper introduces almost partitionable sets to generalize the known concept of partitionable sets. These notions provide a unified frame to construct $\mathbb{Z}$-cyclic patterned starter whist tournaments and cyclic balanced sampling…
Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…
Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{CT}_{n}$ be the semigroup of full contractions on $[n]$. Denote $\mathcal{ORCT}_{n}$ and $\mathcal{OCT}_{n}$ to be the subsemigroup of order preserving or reversing and the…
