We show that an automaton group or semigroup is infinite if and only if it admits an $\omega$-word (i. e. a right-infinite word) with an infinite orbit, which solves an open problem communicated to us by Ievgen V. Bondarenko. In fact, we…
The compressed word problem for a finitely generated monoid M asks whether two given compressed words over the generators of M represent the same element of M. For string compression, straight-line programs, i.e., context-free grammars that…
A group is Markov if it admits a prefix-closed regular language of unique representatives with respect to some generating set, and strongly Markov if it admits such a language of unique minimal-length representatives over every generating…
This paper addresses the torsion problem for a class of automaton semigroups, defined as semigroups of transformations induced by Mealy automata, aka letter-by-letter transducers with the same input and output alphabet. The torsion problem…
When decomposing a finite semigroup into a wreath product of groups and aperiodic semigroups, complexity measures the minimal number of groups that are needed. Determining an algorithm to compute complexity has been an open problem for…
The word problem is an old and central problem in (computational) group theory. It is well-known that the word problem is undecidable in general, but decidable for specific types of presentations. Consistent polycyclic presentations are an…
We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…
Full set of autonomous completely solvable differential systems of equations in total differentials is built by basis of infinitesimal operators, universal invariant, and structure constants of admited multiparametric Lie group (abelian and…
Accessible groups for which the language of all words defining the identity is accepted by a certain class of nested stack automata are virtually free.
The most developed aspect of the theory of finite semigroups is their classification in pseudovarieties. The main motivation for investigating such entities comes from their connection with the classification of regular languages via…
We obtain sufficient criteria for simplicity of systems, that is, rings $R$ that are equipped with a family of additive subgroups $R_s$, for $s \in S$, where $S$ is a semigroup, satisfying $R = \sum_{s \in S} R_s$ and $R_s R_t \subseteq…
We describe how to construct all inverse semigroups Morita equivalent to a given inverse semigroup. This is done by taking the maximum inverse images of the regular Rees matrix semigroups over the inverse semigroup where the sandwich matrix…
We prove that the class of finitely presented inverse monoids whose Sch\"utzenberger graphs are quasi-isometric to trees has a uniformly solvable word problem, furthermore, the languages of their Sch\"utzenberger automata are context-free.…
Let $F$ be a free group of finite rank. We say that the monomorphism problem in $F$ is decidable if for any two elements $u$ and $v$ in $F$, there is an algorithm that determines whether there exists a monomorphism of $F$ that sends $u$ to…
The Lie algbera of a compact semisimple Lie group G is determined by the degrees of the irreducible representations of G. However, two different groups can have the same representation degrees.
The value 1 problem is a decision problem for probabilistic automata over finite words: given a probabilistic automaton A, are there words accepted by A with probability arbitrarily close to 1? This problem was proved undecidable recently.…
We prove that a subset of a virtually free group is rational if and only if the language of geodesic words representing its elements (in any generating set) is rational and that the language of geodesics representing conjugates of elements…
Looking at the automata defined over a group alphabet as a nearring, we see that they are a highly complicated structure. As with ring theory, one method to deal with complexity is to look at semisimplicity modulo radical structures. We…
We introduce a novel technique to analyse unambiguous B\"uchi automata quantitatively, and apply this to the model checking problem. It is based on linear-algebra arguments that originate from the analysis of matrix semigroups with constant…
We consider the Membership and the Half-Space Reachability problems for matrices in dimensions two and three. Our first main result is that the Membership Problem is decidable for finitely generated sub-semigroups of the Heisenberg group…
