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…

The well-known Eckmann-Hilton Principle may be applied to prove that fundamental groups of $H$-spaces are commutative. In this paper, we identify an infinitary analogue of the Eckmann-Hilton Principle that applies to fundamental groups of…

We will prove bi-interpretability of the arithmetic $\N = \langle N, +,\cdot, 0, 1\rangle$ and the weak second order theory of $\N$ with the free monoid $\mathbb{M}_X$ of finite rank greater than 1 and with a non-trivial partially…

This article considers the category of commutative medial magmas with cancellation, a structure that generalizes midpoint algebras and commutative semigroups with cancellation. In this category each object admits at most one internal monoid…

In this paper we study grouplike monoids, these are monoids that contain a group to which we add an ordered set of idempotents. We classify finite categories with two objects having grouplike endomorphism monoids, and we give a count of…

Two finitely generated monoids are constructed, one finitely presented the other not, whose (directed, unlabelled) Cayley graphs are isomorphic.

We describe the automorphism groups of reductive monoids and of root monoids with active groups of invertible elements.

We study the way in which the abstract structure of a small overlap monoid is reflected in, and may be algorithmically deduced from, a small overlap presentation. We show that every C(2) monoid admits an essentially canonical C(2)…

For an arbitrary finite monoid $M$ and subgroup $K$ of the unit group of $M$, we prove that there is a bijection between irreducible representations of $M$ with nontrivial $K$-fixed space and irreducible representations of $\mathcal{H}_K$,…

We prove that for any isomorphism $h: \mathcal{K}_1 \to \mathcal{K}_2$ between pure union-closed families, there exists a hyperisomorphism $H: \bigcup \mathcal{K}_1 \to \bigcup \mathcal{K}_2$ such that $h(A) = \{ H(a) \mid a \in A \}$, for…

Consider the following generalization of the bicyclic monoid. Let $\kappa$ be any infinite cardinal and let $\mathcal{IP\!F}\left(\sigma{\mathbb{N}^\kappa}\right)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the…

The convention "empty product $=1$" is ubiquitous in mathematics, but often appears without an explicit structural justification. This note provides a self-contained reference to this fact in the context of commutative monoids. We construct…

For every one-relator monoid $M = \langle A \mid u=v \rangle$ with $u, v \in A^*$ we construct a contractible $M$-CW complex and use it to build a projective resolution of the trivial module which is finitely generated in all dimensions.…

We introduce and investigate the category of factorization of a multiplicative, commutative, cancellative, pre-ordered monoid $A$, which we denote $\mathcal{F}(A)$. The objects of $\mathcal{F}(A)$ are factorizations of elements of $A$, and…

This paper uses monads and comonads to establish a certain type of equivalence between two subcategories, one reflective and one coreflective, in a category whose objects represent compactifications of non-compact locally compact Hausdorff…

We prove that the equality problem is decidable for rational subsets of the monogenic free inverse monoid $F$. It is also decidable whether or not a rational subset of $F$ is recognizable. We prove that a submonoid of $F$ is rational if and…

Every transformation monoid comes equipped with a canonical topology-the topology of pointwise convergence. For some structures, the topology of the endomorphism monoid can be reconstructed from its underlying abstract monoid. This…

In this paper, we prove that infinite cancellative finitely generated hyperbolic monoids never contain $\mathbb N\times\mathbb N$ as a submonoid but that they contain an element of infinite order and, if they are elementary, then they also…

A finitely generated commutative monoid is uniquely presented if it has only a minimal presentation. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for finitely generated, combinatorially finite, cancellative, commutative monoids to be…

The goal of this paper is to prove coherence results with respect to relational graphs for monoidal monads and comonads, i.e. monads and comonads in a monoidal category such that the endofunctor of the monad or comonad is a monoidal functor…
