We construct an infinite family of topologically slice knots that are not smoothly concordant to their reverses. More precisely, if T denotes the concordance group of topologically slice knots and R is the involution of T induced by string…

It was claimed in [4] that for any integer $n\geqslant 2$, a neutral element can be adjoined to an $n$-ary semigroup if and only if the $n$-ary semigroup is reducible to a binary semigroup. We show that the `only if' direction of this…

An inverse semigroup $S$ is a Howson inverse semigroup if the intersection of finitely generated inverse subsemigroups of $S$ is finitely generated. Given a locally finite action $\theta$ of a group $G$ on a semilattice $E$, it is proved…

When a semigroup has a unary operation, it is possible to define two binary operations, namely, left and right division. In addition it is well known that groups can be defined in terms of those two divisions. The aim of this paper is to…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension and $\pi = \fn{Gal}(K/k)$. An algebraic torus $T$ defined over $k$ is called a $\pi$-torus if $T\times_{\fn{Spec}(k)} \fn{Spec}(K)\simeq \bm{G}_{m,K}^n$ for some integer $n$. The set of all algebraic…

Lee and Kwon [12] defined an ordered semigroup S to be completely regular if a 2 (a2Sa2] for every a 2 S. We characterize every completely regular ordered semigroup as a union of t-simple subsemigroups, and every Clifford ordered semigroup…

We discuss the relationship between tight and cover-to-join representations of semilattices and inverse semigroups, showing that a slight extension of the former, together with an appropriate selection of co-domains, makes the two notions…

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

We prove that a semigroup S is a semilattice of rectangular bands and groups of order two if and only if it satisfies the identity x = xxx and for all x,y in S, xyx is in the set {xyyx,yyxxy}.

The aim of this paper is characterizing right subdirectly irreducible completely 0-simple semigroups. We prove that such semigroups are indeed groups with least nontrivial subgroups. On the other hand we prove that right irreducible…

A subsemigroup S of a semigroup Q is a local left order in Q if, for every maximal subgroup H of Q, the intersection of S with H is a local left order in the sense of group theory. That is, every q in H can be written as a#b for some a,b in…

In this paper, we introduce notions called inverse set and inverse correspondence over inverse semigroups. These are analogies of Hilbert $C^*$-modules and \Ccorrs in the $C^*$-algebra theory. We show that inverse semigroups and inverse…

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for two inverse semigroups to possess identical tight groupoids from the point of view of their algebraic, topological, and spectral order structures. The spectral order is a partial order…

We characterize the respective semigroups of mappings that preserve, or that preserve or reverse orientation of a finite cycle, in terms of their actions on oriented triples and oriented quadruples. This leads to a proof that the latter…

By a completely inverse $AG^{**}$-groupoid we mean an inverse $AG^{**}$-groupoid $A$ satisfying the identity $xx^{-1}=x^{-1}x$, where $x^{-1}$ denotes a unique element of $A$ such that $x=(xx^{-1})x$ and $x^{-1}=(x^{-1}x)x^{-1}.$ We show…

We show that if $T$ is any of four semigroups of two elements that are not groups, there exists a finite dimensional associative $T$-graded algebra over a field of characteristic $0$ such that the codimensions of its graded polynomial…

For every finite unital inverse semigroup $S$ and $S$-$C^*$-algebra $A$ we establish an isomorphism between $KK^S(\mathbb{C},A)$ and $K(A \rtimes S)$. This extends the classical Green--Julg isomorphism from finite groups to finite inverse…

In this note we prove a selection of commutativity theorems for various classes of semigroups. For instance, if in a separative or completely regular semigroup $S$ we have $x^p y^p = y^p x^p$ and $x^q y^q = y^q x^q$ for all $x,y\in S$ where…

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…

We prove that if $S$ is a $le$-semigroup in which left ideal elements commute (condition which is called $\mathbf{\Lambda}$), then any $\mathcal{J}$-class satisfying the Green condition is a subsemigroup of $S$. As a corollary of this we…
