In this thesis we study the subsemigroup structure of the symmetric inverse monoid $I_X$, the inverse semigroup of bijections between subsets of the set $X$, when $X$ is an infinite set. We explore three different approaches to this task.…

We introduce two generalisations of the full symmetric inverse semigroup ${\mathcal{I}}_X$ and its dual semigroup ${\mathcal{I}^{\ast}}_X$ -- inverse semigroups ${\mathcal{PI}^{\ast}}_X$ and ${\overline{\mathcal{PI}^{\ast}}}_X$. Both of…

We introduce the inverse monoid of inner partial automorphisms of a semigroup -- a tool that associates to every semigroup an inverse semigroup. When the semigroup is a group, this inverse semigroup is isomorphic to the group of inner…

The symmetric inverse semigroup $I(X)$ on a set $X$ is the collection of all partial bijections between subsets of $X$ with composition as the algebraic operation. We study a minimal Hausdorff inverse semigroup topologies on $I(X)$. When…

The symmetric inverse monoid $I_X$ on a set $X$ consists of all bijective functions whose domain and range are subsets of $X$ under the usual composition and inversion of partial functions. For an arbitrary infinite set $X$, we classify all…

As an appropriate generalisation of the features of the classical (Schein) theory of representations of inverse semigroups in $\mathscr{I}_{X}$, a theory of representations of inverse semigroups by homomorphisms into complete atomistic…

The dual symmetric inverse monoid $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ is the inverse monoid of all isomorphisms between quotients of an $n$-set. We give a monoid presentation of $\mathscr{I}_n^*$ and, along the way, establish criteria for a monoid to be…

In this paper we study submonoids of the monoid $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ of almost monotone injective co-finite partial selfmaps of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. Let…

Let $\mathcal P_X$ and $\mathcal S_X$ be the partition monoid and symmetric group on an infinite set $X$. We show that $\mathcal P_X$ may be generated by $\mathcal S_X$ together with two (but no fewer) additional partitions, and we classify…

This article concerns Ehresmann structures in the partition monoid $P_X$. Since $P_X$ contains the symmetric and dual symmetric inverse monoids on the same base set $X$, it naturally contains the semilattices of idempotents of both…

A partial automorphism of a finite graph is an isomorphism between its vertex induced subgraphs. The set of all partial automorphisms of a given finite graph forms an inverse monoid under composition (of partial maps). We describe the…

We show that double cosets of the infinite symmetric group with respect to some special subgroups admit natural structures of semigroups. We interpret elements of such semigroups in combinatorial terms (chips, colored graphs,…

In this paper we consider the questions of which topological semigroups embed topologically into the full transformation monoid $\mathbb{N} ^ \mathbb{N}$ or the symmetric inverse monoid $I_{\mathbb{N}}$ with their respective canonical…

A partial automorphism of a semigroup $S$ is any isomorphism between its subsemigroups, and the set all partial automorphisms of $S$ with respect to composition is the inverse monoid called the partial automorphism monoid of $S$. Two…

We provide a framework for which one can approach showing the integer decomposition property for symmetric polytopes. We utilize this framework to prove a special case which we refer to as $2$-partition maximal polytopes in the case where…

We show that a set with an action of a locally finite-dimensional free partially commutative monoid and the corresponding semicubical set have isomorpic homology groups. We build a complex of finite length for the computing homology groups…

A fully invarient congruence relations on the free algebra on a given type induces a variety of the given type. In contrast, a congruence relation of the free algebra provides algebra of that type. This algebra is given by a so-called…

As part of his study of representations of the polycylic monoids, M.V. Lawson described all the closed inverse submonoids of a polycyclic monoid $P_n$ and classified them up to conjugacy. We show that Lawson's description can be extended to…

Denote by $\mathcal T_n$ and $\mathcal S_n$ the full transformation semigroup and the symmetric group on the set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, and $\mathcal E_n=\{1\}\cup(\mathcal T_n\setminus \mathcal S_n)$. Let $\mathcal T(X,\mathcal P)$ denote the…

Let $X$ be a projective variety admitting a polarized (or more generally, int-amplified) endomorphism. We show: there are only finitely many contractible extremal rays; and when $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial normal, every minimal model…
