Let $a$ be an element of a semigroup $S$. The local subsemigroup of $S$ with respect to $a$ is the subsemigroup $aSa$ of $S$. The variant of $S$ with respect to $a$ is the semigroup with underlying set $S$ and operation $\star_a$ defined by…

In this paper we deal with the following problem: how does the structure of a finite semigroup $S$ depend on the probability that two elements selected at random from $S$, with replacement, define the same inner right translation of $S$. We…

The variant of a semigroup S with respect to an element a in S, denoted S^a, is the semigroup with underlying set S and operation * defined by x*y=xay for x,y in S. In this article, we study variants T_X^a of the full transformation…

We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…

Quantum families of maps between quantum spaces are defined and studied. We prove that quantum semigroup (and sometimes quantum group) structures arise naturally on such objects out of more fundamental properties. As particular cases we…

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 examine a semigroup analogue of the Kumjian-Renault representation of C*-algebras with Cartan subalgebras on twisted groupoids. Specifically, we show how to represent semigroups with distinguished normal subsemigroups as `slice-sections'…

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…

We consider positive semidefinite kernels valued in the $*$-algebra of adjointable operators on a VE-space (Vector Euclidean space) and that are invariant under actions of $*$-semigroups. A rather general dilation theorem is stated and…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

A monoid structure on families of representations of a quiver is introduced by taking extensions of representations in families, i.e. subvarieties of the varieties of representations. The study of this monoid leads to interesting…

An abstract Pick interpolation theorem for a family of positive semi-definite kernels on a set $X$ is formulated. The result complements those in \cite{Ag} and \cite{AMbook} and will subsequently be applied to Pick interpolation on…

In this note the notion of kernel of a representation of a semisimple Hopf algebra is introduced. Similar properties to the kernel of a group representation are proved in some special cases. In particular, every normal Hopf subalgebra of a…

A method to construct in explicit form the generators of the simple roots of an arbitrary finite-dimensional representation of a quantum or standard semisimple algebra is found. The method is based on general results from the global theory…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let B be a finitely generated k-domain. We study semisimple derivations on B, with special emphasis on those whose eigenvalues are integers. For such derivations, after…

The structure of transformation semigroups on a finite set is analyzed by introducing a hierarchy of functions mapping subsets to subsets. The resulting hierarchy of semigroups has a corresponding hierarchy of minimal ideals, or kernels.…

We demonstrate that the notions of derivative representation of a Lie algebra on a vector bundle, of semi-linear representations of a Lie group on a vector bundle, and related concepts, may be understood in terms of representations of Lie…

The goal of this paper is to consider some relations between varieties of representations of groups and varieties of associative algebras. The main emphasis is put on the varieties of representations of groups induced by the varieties of…

A congruence on an inverse semigroup $S$ is determined uniquely by its kernel and trace. Denoting by $\rho_k$ and $\rho_t$ the least congruence on $S$ having the same kernel and the same trace as $\rho$, respectively, and denoting by…

We consider a generalization of representations of quivers that can be derived from the ordinary representations of quivers by considering a product of arbitrary classical groups instead of a product of the general linear groups and by…
