相关论文: The monoid consisting of Kuratowski operations
We present simple graph-theoretic characterizations of Cayley graphs for monoids, semigroups and groups. We extend these characterizations to commutative monoids, semilattices, and abelian groups.
We continue our programme of extending key techniques from geometric group theory to semigroup theory, by studying monoids acting by isometric embeddings on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions. The…
This article contains an overview of the results of the author in a field of algebraic topology used in computer science. The relationship between the cubical homology groups of generalized tori and homology groups of partial trace monoid…
Generalizing the famous 14-set closure-complement Theorem of Kuratowski from 1922, we prove that for a set $X$ endowed with $n$ pairwise comparable topologies $\tau_1\subset\dots\subset\tau_n$, by repeated application of the operations of…
Two finitely generated monoids are constructed, one finitely presented the other not, whose (directed, unlabelled) Cayley graphs are isomorphic.
In this paper we present general techniques for characterising minimal and maximal semigroup topologies on the endomorphism monoid $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{A})$ of a countable relational structure $\mathbb{A}$. As applications, we show…
Let $X$ be a space equipped with $n$ topologies $\tau_1,...,\tau_n$ which are pairwise comparable and saturated, and for each $1\leq i\leq n$ let $k_i$ and $f_i$ be the associated topological closure and frontier operators, respectively.…
Ciraulo recently showed that Kuratowski's closure-complement problem for arbitrary powersets of topological spaces extends constructively to the interior-pseudocomplement problem for arbitrary posets, using the closure-interior problem for…
We investigate Cayley graphs of finite semigroups and monoids. First, we look at semigroup digraphs, i.e., directed Cayley graphs of semigroups, and give a Sabidussi-type characterization in the case of monoids. We then correct a proof of…
This article is intended as a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams. It is hoped that this will be useful not just to mathematicians, but also to physicists, computer scientists, and…
We present simple graph-theoretic characterizations of Cayley graphs for left-cancellative monoids, groups, left-quasigroups and quasigroups. We show that these characterizations are effective for the end-regular graphs of finite degree.
This is a glossary of notions and methods related with the topological theory of collections of affine planes, including braid groups, configuration spaces, order complexes, stratified Morse theory, simplicial resolutions, complexes of…
An implicit operation of a class of similar algebras $\mathsf{K}$ is a collection of first order definable partial functions on the members of $\mathsf{K}$ that is globally preserved by homomorphisms. For instance, "taking inverses" can be…
Usually a name of the category is inherited from the name of objects. However more relevant for a category of objects and morphisms is an algebra of morphisms. Therefore we prefer to say a category of graphs if every morphism is a graph. In…
This is a report on aspects of the theory and use of monoidal categories. The first section introduces the main concepts through the example of the category of vector spaces. String notation is explained and shown to lead naturally to a…
We give a description of unital operads in a symmetric monoidal category as monoids in a monoidal category of unital $\Lambda$-sequences. This is a new variant of Kelly's old description of operads as monoids in the monoidal category of…
In this paper we show how the theory of monads can be used to deduce in a uniform manner several duality theorems involving categories of relations on one side and categories of algebras with homomorphisms preserving only some operations on…
This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions…
Kuratowski's closure-complement problem gives rise to a monoid generated by the closure and complement operations. Consideration of this monoid yielded an interesting classification of topological spaces, and subsequent decades saw further…
This monograph provides a coherent development of operads, infinity operads, and monoidal categories, equipped with equivariant structures encoded by an action operad. A group operad is a planar operad with an action operad equivariant…
