We study the construction of premonoidal categories, where the pentagon relation fails, through representations of finite group algebras and their quantum doubles. Both finite group algebras and their quantum doubles have a finite number of…

We describe a simple scheme for constructing finitely generated monoids in which left-divisibility is a linear ordering and for practically investigating these monoids. The approach is based on subword reversing, a general method of…

A monoid presentation is called special if the right-hand side of each defining relation is equal to 1. We prove results which relate the two-sided homological finiteness properties of a monoid defined by a special presentation with those…

We give a complete description of the congruence lattices of the following finite diagram monoids: the partition monoid, the planar partition monoid, the Brauer monoid, the Jones monoid (also known as the Temperley-Lieb monoid), the Motzkin…

Finite-above inverse monoids are a common generalization of finite inverse monoids and Margolis--Meakin expansions of groups. Given a finite-above $E$-unitary inverse monoid $M$ and a group variety $\mathit{U}$, we find a condition for $M$…

These notes were prepared for a series of intensive lectures delivered at Hokkaido University, Nagoya University, Kyoto University, and Kyushu University. We begin with a brief review of higher-form symmetries, anomalies, and discrete gauge…

An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space inversion P, time reversal T, charge conjugation C and their combinations PT, CP, CT, CPT) is studied. Discrete subgroups {1,P,T,PT} of orthogonal groups of multidimensional…

We study the class of monoids that arise as the submonoid of right units of finitely presented special inverse monoids (SIMs). Gray and Ru\v{s}kuc (2024) gave the first example of a finitely presented SIM whose submonoid of right units does…

We define operations that give the set of all Pythagorean triples a structure of commutative monoid. In particular, we define these operations by using injections between integer triples and $3 \times 3$ matrices. Firstly, we completely…

We define the notion of a complete N=2 supersymmetric theory in 4 dimensions as a UV complete theory for which all the BPS central charges can be arbitrarily varied as we vary its Coulomb branch parameters, masses, and coupling constants.…

We investigate equivariant analogues of the Minkowski--Weyl theorem and Gordan's lemma in an infinite-dimensional setting, where cones and monoids are invariant under the action of the infinite symmetric group. Building upon the framework…

For some numerical semigroup rings of small embedding dimension, namely those of embedding dimension 3, and symmetric or pseudosymmetric of embedding dimension 4, presentations has been determined in the literature. We extend these results…

We show how to construct a family of groups with simple commutator subgroups from aperiodic 1-vertex, finitely aligned higher rank graphs (which are, in fact, a class of cancellative monoids). Inverse semigroups form the intermediary…

Let $\mathsf{mSt}_n$ be the plactic-like monoid obtained by factoring the free monoid over a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}_n$ by the meet of the stalactic congruence and its dual. In this paper, we prove that $\mathsf{mSt}_n$ can be equipped…

We obtain a presentation for the singular part of the Brauer monoid with respect to an irreducible system of generators, consisting of idempotents. As an application of this result we get a new construction of the symmetric group via…

Let $(P_n)_n$ and $(Q_n)_n$ be two sequences of monic polynomials linked by a type structure relation such as $$ Q_{n}(x)+r_nQ_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_nP_{n-1}(x)+t_nP_{n-2}(x)\;, $$ where $(r_n)_n$, $(s_n)_n$ and $(t_n)_n$ are sequences of…

We determine the rings of invariants in the symmetric algebra on the dual of a vector space V over the field of two elements, for the group G of orthogonal transformations preserving a non-singular quadratic form on V. The invariant ring is…

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.…

Rewriting methods have been developed for the study of coherence for algebraic objects. This consists in starting with a convergent presentation, and expliciting a family of generating confluences to obtain a coherent presentation -- one…

We calculate the number of unary clones (submonoids of the full transformation monoid) containing the permutations, on an infinite base set. It turns out that this number is quite large, on some cardinals as large as the whole clone…
