We generalize the Grothendieck construction of the completion group for a monoid (being the starting point of the algebraic $K$-theory) to the polyadic case, when an initial semigroup is $m$-ary and the corresponding final class group…

Let G be a Roelcke-precompact non-archimedean Polish group, B(G) the algebra of matrix coefficients of G arising from its continuous unitary representations. The Gel'fand spectrum H(G) of the norm closure of B(G) is known as the Hilbert…

A topology $\tau$ on a monoid $S$ is called {\em shift-continuous} if for every $a,b\in S$ the two-sided shift $S\to S$, $x\mapsto axb$, is continuous. For every ordinal $\alpha\le \omega$, we describe all shift-continuous locally compact…

We present the (Lascar) Galois group of any countable theory as a quotient of a compact Polish group by an $F_\sigma$ normal subgroup: in general, as a topological group, and under NIP, also in terms of Borel cardinality. This allows us to…

We investigate semigroup topologies on the full transformation monoid T(X) of an infinite set X. We show that the standard pointwise topology is the weakest Hausdorff semigroup topology on T(X), show that the pointwise topology is the…

We prove that the category of boolean inverse monoids is dually equivalent to the category of boolean groupoids. This generalizes the classical Stone duality between boolean algebras and boolean spaces. As an instance of this duality, we…

Given a set $X$ and a family $G$ of self-maps of $X$, we study the problem of the existence of a non-discrete Hausdorff topology on $X$ with respect to which all functions $f\in G$ are continuous. A topology on $X$ with this property is…

We describe the structure of the monoid of natural-valued monotone functions on an arbitrary poset. For this monoid we provide a presentation, a characterization of prime elements, and a description of its convex hull. We also study the…

We study the existence and left properness of transferred model structures for "monoid-like" objects in monoidal model categories. These include genuine monoids, but also all kinds of operads as for instance symmetric, cyclic, modular,…

A topological semigroup is monothetic provided it contains a dense cyclic subsemigroup. The Koch problem asks whether every locally compact monothetic monoid is compact. This problem was opened for more than sixty years, till in 2018…

The first author showed in a previous paper that there is a correspondence between self-similar group actions and a class of left cancellative monoids called left Rees monoids. These monoids can be constructed either directly from the…

The aim of this paper is sketch a theory of divisibility and factorisation in topological monoids, where finite products are replaced by convergent products. The algebraic case can then be viewed as the special case of discretely…

Let $\mathscr{C}_\mathbb{N}$ be a monoid which is generated by the partial shift $\alpha\colon n\mapsto n+1$ of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ and its inverse partial shift $\beta\colon n+1\mapsto n$. In this paper we prove that…

We show that for every finite nonempty set L of integers greater than or equal to 2 there are a numerical monoid H and a squarefree element a $\in$ H whose set of lengths L(a) is equal to L.

We study the geometry of algebraic monoids. We prove that the group of invertible elements of an irreducible algebraic monoid is an algebraic group, open in the monoid. Moreover, if this group is reductive, then the monoid is affine. We…

We use Fra\" iss\'e theoretic methods to construct several universal and ultrahomogeneous Polish metric structures. Namely, universal and ultrahomogeneous Polish metric space equipped with countably many closed subsets of its powers,…

We prove that the monoidal 2-category of cospans of finite linear orders and surjections is the universal monoidal category with an object X with a semigroup and a cosemigroup structures, where the two structures satisfy a certain…

Let Gamma be an S-arithmetic subgroup of a solvable algebraic group G over an algebraic number field F, such that the finite set S contains at least one place that is nonarchimedean. We construct a certain group H, such that if L is any…

In the presence of suitable power spaces, compactness of $\mathbf{X}$ can be characterized as the singleton $\{X\}$ being open in the space $\mathcal{O}(\mathbf{X})$ of open subsets of $\mathbf{X}$. Equivalently, this means that universal…

A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right $S$-act is finitely presented. The corresponding notion for a ring $R$ states that every finitely generated submodule of every finitely…
