Let $S$ and $\mathcal{C}$ be affine semigroups in $\mathbb{N}^d$ such that $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$. We provide a characterization for the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ to be finite, together with a procedure and computational tools to check…
To a finite group $G$, one can associate several notions of dimensions (or degrees). In this survey, we attempt to bring together some of the notions of dimensions or degrees defined using representations of the group in General Linear…
Ideals are one of the main topics of interest to the study of the order structure of an algebra. Due to their nice properties, ideals have an important role both in lattice theory and semigroup theory. Two natural concepts of ideal can be…
In this paper, we study good semigroups of \mathbb{N}^n, a class of semigroups that contains the value semigroups of algebroid curves with n branches. We give the definition of embedding dimension of a good semigroup showing that, in the…
We consider two relations on a $\cap$-semigroup of partial functions of a given set: the inclusion of domains and the semiadjacencity (i.e., the inclusion of the image of the first function into the domain of the second), which…
This note relates axioms for partial semigroups and monoids with those for small object-free categories, either with multiple monoidal units or with source and target maps. We discuss the adjunction of a zero element to both kinds of…
A semiring generalises the notion of a ring, replacing the additive abelian group structure with that of a commutative monoid. In this paper, we study a notion positioned between a ring and a semiring -- a semiring whose additive monoid is…
In this paper we develope a categorical theory of relations and use this formulation to define the notion of quantization for relations. Categories of relations are defined in the context of symmetric monoidal categories. They are shown to…
Formal Concept Analysis makes the fundamental observation that any finite lattice $(L, \leq)$ is determined up to isomorphism by the restriction of the relation ${\leq} \subseteq L \times L$ to the set $J(L) \times M(L)$, where $J(L)$ is…
This is an expository paper. It is well known that a linear transformation can be defined to have any desired action on a basis. From this fact, one can show that every group homomorphism from Z^k to R^d extends to a homomorphism from R^k…
Let $I$ be a monomial squarefree ideal of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field $K$ such that the sum of every three different of its minimal prime ideals is the maximal ideal of $S$, or more general a constant ideal. We associate to $I$ a…
In this paper we compute the minimum degree of a faithful representation by partial transformations of a finite semigroup admitting a faithful completely reducible matrix representation over the field of complex numbers. This includes all…
We compute the Stanley depth of irreducible monomial ideals and we show that the Stanley depth of a monomial complete intersection ideal is the same as the Stanley depth of it's radical. Also, we give some bounds for the Stanley depth of a…
Let $T(X)$ (resp. L(V)) be the semigroup of all transformations (resp. linear transformations) of a set $X$ (resp. vector space $V$). For a subset $Y$ of $X$ and a subsemigroup $\mathbb{S}(Y)$ of $T(Y)$, consider the subsemigroup…
Since its introduction by Symons, the semigroup of maps with restricted range has been studied in the context of transformations on a set, or of linear maps on a vector space. Sets and vector spaces being particular examples of independence…
The problem of computing the dimension of a left/right ideal in a group algebra F[G] of a finite group G over a field F is considered. The ideal dimension is related to the rank of a matrix originating from a regular left/right…
Motivated by situations in which the removal of a zero (a.k.a., an absorbing element) from a semigroup yields a subsemigroup with another zero, sets of quasi-zeros (a.k.a., quasi-absorbing elements) are introduced as well as primitive…
The set of all subsets of any inverse semigroup forms an involution semiring under set-theoretical union and element-wise multiplication and inversion. We find structural conditions on a finite inverse semigroup guaranteeing that neither…
In this paper, we characterize the monoid of endomorphisms of the semigroup of all monotone full transformations of a finite chain, as well as the monoids of endomorphisms of the semigroup of all monotone partial transformations and of the…
The inclusion ideal graph $\mathcal{I}n(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are all nontrivial left ideals of $S$ and two distinct left ideals $I, J$ are adjacent if and only if either $I \subset J$ or $J…
