Given a connected linear algebraic group $G$, we descrive the subgroup of $G$ generated by all semisimple elements.
We prove that the 2-Deligne tensor product of two compact semisimple 2-categories exists. Further, under suitable hypotheses, we explain how to describe the $Hom$-categories, connected components, and simple objects of a 2-Deligne tensor…
It is shown that the classification theorems for semisimple algebraic groups in characteristic zero can be derived quite simply and naturally from the corresponding theorems for Lie algebras by using a little of the theory of tensor…
For an arbitrary rational polyhedron we consider its decompositions into Minkowski summands and, dual to this, the free extensions of the associated pair of semigroups. Being free for the pair of semigroups is equivalent to flatness for the…
Two successive generalizations of the usual tensor products are given. One can be constructed for arbitrary binary operations, and not only for semigroups, groups or vector spaces. The second one, still more general, is constructed for…
A classification of the ways in which an element of a free group can be expressed as a product of commutators or as a product of squares is given. This is then applied to some particular classes of elements. Finally, a question about…
We realize the embedding functor from pseudotensor category to tensor category in a purely algebraic setting when the pseudotensor category is the category $\mathcal{M}(H)$ of left $H$-modules, which is originally defined by Beilinson and…
Let F be the category of finite dimensional representations of an arbitrary quantum affine algebra. We prove that a tensor product $S_1\otimes ... \otimes S_N$ of simple objects of F is simple if and only if for any $i < j$, $S_i\otimes…
We improve on earlier results on the closure under free products of the class of automaton semigroups. We consider partial automata and show that the free product of two self-similar semigroups (or automaton semigroups) is self-similar (an…
Precategories generalize both the notions of strict $n$-category and sesquicategory: their definition is essentially the same as the one of strict $n$-categories, excepting that we do not require the various interchange laws to hold. Those…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this master thesis, we classify multiplicity-free tensor products of simple modules for the groups $SL_2(k)$ and $SL_3(k)$. We also provide a classification for $SL_n(k)$…
A semisimple algebraic tensor category over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero is the representation category of all finite dimensional twisted super representations of an affine reductive supergroup G over k. Such a…
We consider semisimple super Tannakian categories generated by an object whose symmetric or alternating tensor square is simple up to trivial summands. Using representation theory, we provide a criterion to identify the corresponding…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new family of semigroups - the free projection-generated regular $*$-semigroups - and initiate their systematic study. Such a semigroup $PG(P)$ is constructed from a projection algebra $P$, using…
It is a classical theorem that the free product of ordered groups is orderable. In this note we show that, using a method of G. Bergman, an ordering of the free product can be constructed in a functorial manner, in the category of ordered…
First of all, we recall the well known notion of semidirect product both for classical algebraic structures (like groups and rings) and for more recent ones (digroups, left skew braces, heaps, trusses). Then we analyse the concept of…
We construct the free products of arbitrary digroups, and thus we solve an open problem of Zhuchok.
This is the first part of a two paper series studying free globularily generated double categories. In this first installment we introduce the free globularily generated double category construction. The free globularily generated double…
The classification of gradings by abelian groups on finite direct sums of simple finite-dimensional nonassociative algebras over an algebraically closed field is reduced, by means of the use of loop algebras, to the corresponding problem…
We survey results concerning automatic structures for semigroup constructions, providing references and describing the corresponding automatic structures. The constructions we consider are: free products, direct products, Rees matrix…
