We give sufficient conditions when a topological inverse $\lambda$-polycyclic monoid $P_{\lambda}$ is absolutely $H$-closed in the class of topological inverse semigroups. Also, for every infinite cardinal $\lambda$ we construct the…

Some varieties of groupoids and quasigroups generated by linear-bivariate polynomials $P(x,y)=a+bx+cy$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for such groupoids and quasigroups to obey identities which…

We modify a previous result, which showed that certain diagrams of spaces are essentially simplicial monoids, to construct diagrams of spaces which model simplicial groups. Furthermore, we show that these diagrams can be generalized to…

For an $r$-discrete Hausdorff groupoid ${\cal G}$ and an inverse semigroup $S$ of slices of ${\cal G}$ there is an isomorphism between ${\cal G}$-equivariant $KK$-theory and compatible $S$-equivariant $KK$-theory. We use it to define…

First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…

We revisit our construction of the Thompson groups from the polycyclic inverse monoids in the light of new research. Specifically, we prove that the Thompson group $G_{n,1}$ is the group of units of a Boolean inverse monoid $C_{n}$ called…

In a group $G$, elements $a$ and $b$ are conjugate if there exists $g\in G$ such that $g^{-1} ag=b$. This conjugacy relation, which plays an important role in group theory, can be extended in a natural way to inverse semigroups: for…

The dual symmetric inverse monoid $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ is the inverse monoid of all isomorphisms between quotients of an $n$-set. We give a monoid presentation of $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ and, along the way, establish criteria for a monoid to be…

We prove that the forgetful functor from the category of Boolean inverse semigroups to inverse semigroups with zero has a left adjoint. This left adjoint is what we term the `Booleanization'. We establish the exact connection between the…

This paper is the second in a series investigating cartesian closed varieties. In first of these, we showed that every non-degenerate finitary cartesian variety is a variety of sets equipped with an action by a Boolean algebra B and a…

We introduce $X$-to-join representations of inverse semigroups which are a relaxation of the notion of a cover-to-join representation. We construct the universal $X$-to-join Booleanization of an inverse semigroup $S$ as a weakly…

An inverse monoid $S$ is called $F$-inverse if each $\sigma$-class of $S$, where $\sigma$ is the minimum group congruence of $S$, has a maximum element with respect to the natural order of $S$. Since the property of an inverse monoid being…

Let $K$ be a commutative ring with unit and $S$ an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra $KS$ can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal \'etale groupoid associated to $S$ by Paterson. This…

In this paper we study sub-semigroups of a zero-divisor semigroup $S$ determined by properties of the zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(S)$. We use these sub-semigroups to study the correspondence between zero- divisor semigroups and zero-divisor…

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…

A Galois correspondence theorem is proved for the case of inverse semigroups acting orthogonally on commutative rings as a consequence of the Galois correspondence theorem for groupoid actions. To this end, we use a classic result of…

This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection…

We present some fundamental results on (possibly nonlinear) algebraic semigroups and monoids. These include a version of Chevalley's structure theorem for irreducible algebraic monoids, and the description of all algebraic semigroup…

In this paper we investigate graph inverse semigroups which are subsemigroups of compact-like topological semigroups. More precisely, we characterise graph inverse semigroups which admit a compact semigroup topology and describe graph…

In this work, we generalize several topological results and concepts from ring theory to the setting of monoids.
