The well-known Lawvere category R of extended real positive numbers comes with a monoidal closed structure where the tensor product is the sum. But R has another such structure, given by multiplication, which is *-autonomous. Normed sets,…

Motivated by the \v{C}ern\'y conjecture for automata, we introduce the concept of monoidal automata, which allows the formulation of the \v{C}ern\'y conjecture for monoids. We show upper bounds on the reset threshold of monoids with certain…

Given a monoid $(M,\varepsilon,\cdot )$ it is shown that a subset $A\subseteq M$ is recognizable in the sense of automata theory if and only if the $\varphi $-rank of $x=x$ is zero in the first-order theory $\operatorname{Th}(M,\varepsilon…

The syntactic monoid of a language is generalized to the level of a symmetric monoidal closed category D. This allows for a uniform treatment of several notions of syntactic algebras known in the literature, including the syntactic monoids…

This paper studies the complexity of evaluating functional query languages for complex values such as monad algebra and the recursion-free fragment of XQuery. We show that monad algebra with equality restricted to atomic values is complete…

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…

The free monoid $A^*$ on a finite totally ordered alphabet $A$ acts at the left on columns, by Schensted left insertion. This defines a finite monoid, denoted $Styl(A)$ and called the stylic monoid. It is canonically a quotient of the…

This paper studies the limits of recursive classifications in proof theory and program extraction, using the refined $A$-translation as a central example. The refined $A$-translation, due to Berger, Buchholz, and Schwichtenberg, is based on…

We define a monoidal semantics for algebraic theories. The basis for the definition is provided by the analysis of the structural rules in the term calculus of algebraic languages. Models are described both explicitly, in a form that…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $A$ a unital separable finite simple nuclear C*-algebra, and $\alpha$ an action of $G$ on $A$. Assume that $A$ absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$, the extremal boundary of the trace space of $A$ is compact…

We prove the following results for a unital simple direct limit $A$ of recursive subhomogeneous algebras with no dimension growth: (1) A has stable rank 1. (2) The projections in $M_{\infty} (A)$ satisfy cancellation: if $e \oplus q \sim f…

The rank of a finite algebraic structure with a single binary operation is the minimum number of elements needed to express every other element under the closure of the operation. In the case of groups, the previous best algorithm for…

A commutative cancellative monoid is atomic if every non-invertible element factors into irreducibles (also called atoms), while an integral domain is atomic if its multiplicative monoid is atomic. Back in the eighties, Gilmer posed the…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study of a class of binary trees encoding the structure of rational numbers both from arithmetic and dynamical point of view. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one is a critical review of…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field K with a set of generators a_1,...,a_n and defined by homogeneous relations of the form a_1a_2...a_n = a_{sigma(1)}a_{sigma(2)}...a_{sigma(n)}, where sigma runs through an abelian…

Estimating the linear dimensionality of a data set in the presence of noise is a common problem. However, data may also be corrupted by monotone nonlinear distortion that preserves the ordering of matrix entries but causes linear methods…

We introduce a Recursive INsertion-based Encoder (RINE), a novel approach for semantic parsing in task-oriented dialog. Our model consists of an encoder network that incrementally builds the semantic parse tree by predicting the…

The aim of this paper is to prove the \v{C}ern\'y conjecture and the rank conjecture for \v{C}ern\'y type automata and monoids. A transformation monoid is said to be \v{C}ern\'y type if it is generated by a simple idempotent and a regular…

We will study the presentations of fundamental groups of the complement of complexified real affine line arrangements that do not contain two parallel lines. By Yoshinaga's minimal presentation, we can give positive homogeneous…

We define a class of algebras describing links of binary semi-isolating formulas on a set of realizations for a family of 1-types of a complete theory. These algebras include algebras of isolating formulas considered before. We prove that a…
