We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. We show that if $H_1$ and $H_2$ are connected subgroups of $G$ such that $H_1$ and $H_2$ have a common maximal unipotent subgroup and…

We call a restriction semigroup almost perfect if it is proper and its least monoid congruence is perfect. We show that any such semigroup is isomorphic to a `$W$-product' $W(T,Y)$, where $T$ is a monoid, $Y$ is a semilattice and there is a…

We consider the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of a quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$. We call a module $M\in \mathcal{O}$ tensor-closed if $M\otimes N\in\mathcal{O}$ for any $N\in \mathcal{O}$. In this paper we prove…

Parsummable categories were introduced by Schwede as input for his global algebraic $K$-theory construction. We prove that their whole homotopy theory with respect to the so-called global equivalences can already be modelled by the more…

We analyze the algebraic structures of G--Frobenius algebras which are the algebras associated to global group quotient objects. Here G is any finite group. These algebras turn out to be modules over the Drinfeld double of the group ring…

We call a monoidal category ${\mathcal C}$ a Serre category if for any $C$, $D \in {\mathcal C}$ such that $C\ot D$ is semisimple, $C$ and $D$ are semisimple objects in ${\mathcal C}$. Let $H$ be an involutory Hopf algebra, $M$, $N$ two…

We study groupoids and semigroup C*-algebras arising from graphs of monoids, in the setting of right LCM monoids. First, we establish a general criterion when a graph of monoids gives rise to a submonoid of the fundamental group which is…

In this paper subcentral (resp., central) idempotent series and composition subcentral (resp., central) idempotent series in an inverse semigroup are introduced and investigated. It is shown that if $S=EG$ is a factorizable inverse monoids…

Given a Noetherian ring $A$, the collection of all integrally closed ideals in $A$ which contain a nonzerodivisor, denoted $ic(A)$, forms a cancellative monoid under the operation $I*J=\overline{IJ}$, the integral closure of the product.…

Let $n$ be any positive integer and $\mathscr{I\!\!P\!F}(\mathbb{N}^n)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the $n$-th power of the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ with the product order. We study…

Given a numerical semigroup $S$, we let $\mathrm P_S(x)=(1-x)\sum_{s\in S}x^s$ be its semigroup polynomial. We study cyclotomic numerical semigroups; these are numerical semigroups $S$ such that $\mathrm P_S(x)$ has all its roots in the…

We propose a way of associating to each finitely generated monoid or semigroup a formal language, called its loop problem. In the case of a group, the loop problem is essentially the same as the word problem in the sense of combinatorial…

Let $M$ be a topological monoid with homotopy group completion $\Omega BM$. Under a strong homotopy commutativity hypothesis on $M$, we show that $\pi_k (\Omega BM)$ is the quotient of the monoid of free homotopy classes $[S^k, M]$ by its…

Let $\A$ be a finitely generated semigroup with 0. An $\A$-module over $\fun$ (also called an $\A$--set), is a pointed set $(M,*)$ together with an action of $\A$. We define and study the Hall algebra $\H_{\A}$ of the category $\C_{\A}$ of…

We introduce the notion of an introverted Boolean algebra $\cal B$ of closed-and-open subsets of a topological group $G$, show that the associated Stone space $(\nu_{\cal B} G, \nu_{\cal B})$ is a totally disconnected semigroup…

We describe structure of quasihomomorphisms from arbitrary groups to discrete groups. We show that all quasihomomorphisms are 'constructible', i.e., are obtained via certain natural operations from homomorphisms to some groups and…

If G and H are finitely generated, residually nilpotent metabelian groups, H is termed para-G if there is a homomorphism of G into H which induces an isomorphism between the corresponding terms of their lower central quotient groups. We…

Mapping class groups of Haken 3-manifolds enjoy many of the homological finiteness properties of mapping class groups of 2-manifolds of finite type. For example, H(M) has a torsionfree subgroup of finite index, which is geometrically finite…

Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$, and let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of an arithmetic group defined with respect to $K$ and such that any torsion element of $\Gamma$ is a $p$-torsion element. We define…
