Let $Q$ be an inverse semigroup. A subsemigroup $S$ of $Q$ is a left I-order in $Q$ and $Q$ is a semigroup of left I-quotients of $S$ if every element in $Q$ can be written as $a^{-1}b$, where $a, b \in S$ and $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$…

A semigroup variety is said to be a Rees-Sushkevich variety if it is contained in a periodic variety generated by 0-simple semigroups. S. I. Kublanovsky has proven that a variety V is a Rees-Sushkevich variety if and only it does not…

A quadratic form f is said to have semigroup property if its values at points of the integer lattice form a semigroup under multiplication. A problem of V. Arnold is to describe all binary integer quadratic forms with semigroup property. If…

A quasi-automatic semigroup is defined by a finite set of generators, a rational (regular) set of representatives, such that if a is a generator or neutral, then the graph of right multiplication by a on the set of representatives is a…

The set of idempotents of any semigroup carries the structure of a biordered set, which contains a great deal of information concerning the idempotent generated subsemigroup of the semigroup in question. This leads to the construction of a…

An involution on a semigroup S (or any algebra with an underlying associative binary operation) is a function f:S->S that satisfies f(xy)=f(y)f(x) and f(f(x))=x for all x,y in S. The set I(S) of all such involutions on S generates a…

Motivated by a problem on the dynamics of compositions of plane hyperbolic isometries, we prove several fundamental results on semigroups of isometries, thought of as real M\"obius transformations. We define a semigroup $S$ of M\"obius…

We detect topological semigroups that are topological paragroups, i.e., are isomorphic to a Rees product of a topological group over topological spaces with a continuous sandwich function. We prove that a simple topological semigroup $S$ is…

Let $S$ be a semigroup, $\Lambda$ a non-empty set and $P$ a mapping of $\Lambda$ into $S$. The set $S\times \Lambda$ together with the operation $\circ _P$ defined by $(s, \lambda)\circ _P(t, \mu )=(sP(\lambda)t, \mu )$ form a semigroup…

We study frequent hypercyclicity in the context of strongly continuous semigroups of operators. More precisely, we give a criterion (sufficient condition) for a semigroup to be frequently hypercyclic, whose formulation depends on the Pettis…

Let $S,T$ be two numerical semigroups. We study when $S$ is one half of $T$, with $T$ almost symmetric. If we assume that the type of $T$, $t(T)$, is odd, then for any $S$ there exist infinitely many such $T$ and we prove that $1 \leq t(T)…

The notion of automatic selfadjointness of all ideals in a multiplicative semigroup of the bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space B(H) arose in a 2015 discussion with Heydar Radjavi who pointed out that B(H) and the finite…

We introduce a class of finite semigroups obtained by considering Rees quotients of numerical semigroups. Several natural questions concerning this class, as well as particular subclasses obtained by considering some special ideals, are…

Free idempotent generated semigroups IG$(E)$, where $E$ is a biordered set, have provided a focus of recent research, the majority of the efforts concentrating on the behaviour of the maximal subgroups. Inspired by an example of Brittenham,…

Ehresmann semigroups may be viewed as biunary semigroups equipped with domain and range operations satisfying some equational laws. Motivated by some of the main examples, we here define ordered Ehresmann semigroups, and consider their…

A subsemigroup $S$ of an inverse semigroup $Q$ is a left I-order in $Q$, if every element in $Q$ can be written as $a^{-1}b$ where $a, b \in S$ and $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$ in the sense of inverse semigroup theory. We study a…

In this note we prove a selection of commutativity theorems for various classes of semigroups. For instance, if in a separative or completely regular semigroup $S$ we have $x^p y^p = y^p x^p$ and $x^q y^q = y^q x^q$ for all $x,y\in S$ where…

Let $X$ be a nonempty set and $\mathcal{P}=\{X_i\colon i\in I\}$ a partition of $X$. Denote by $T(X)$ the full transformation semigroup on $X$, and $T(X, \mathcal{P})$ the subsemigroup of $T(X)$ consisting of all transformations that…

A subsemigroup $S$ of an inverse semigroup $Q$ is a left I-order in $Q$ if every element in $Q$ can be written as $a^{-1}b$ where $a,b \in S$ and $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$ in the sense of inverse semigroup theory. If we insist on $a$…

The main results of this paper is to give a complete characterization of the automaticity of one-relator semigroups with length less than or equal to three. Let $S=sgp\langle A|u=v\rangle$ be a semigroup generated by a set…
