Almost factorisable inverse semigroups

Almost Factorizable Locally Inverse Semigroups

A factorizable inverse monoid can be identified, up to isomorphism, with an inverse submonoid M of a symmetric inverse monoid I(X) where each element of M is a restriction of a permutation of X belonging to M . So factorizable inverse monoids are natural objects, and appear in a number of branches of mathematics, cf. [12], [4]. The notion of an almost factorizable inverse semigroup was introduc...

Ideals in Left Almost Semigroups

A left almost semigroup (LA-semigroup) or an Abel-Grassmann’s groupoid (AG-groupoid) is investigated in several papers. In this paper we have discussed ideals in LA-semigroups. Specifically, we have shown that every ideal in an LA-semigroup S with left identity e is prime if and only if it is idempotent and the set of ideals of S is totally ordered under inclusion. We have shown that an ideal o...

Primer on Inverse Semigroups

Semigroups of inverse quotients

We examine, in a general setting, a notion of inverse semigroup of left quotients, which we call left I-quotients. This concept has appeared, and has been used, as far back as Clifford’s seminal work describing bisimple inverse monoids in terms of their right unit subsemigroups. As a consequence of our approach, we find a straightforward way of extending Clifford’s work to bisimple inverse semi...

Expansions of Inverse Semigroups

We construct the freest idempotent-pure expansion of an inverse semigroup, generalizing an expansion of Margolis and Meakin for the group case. We also generalize the Birget-Rhodes prefix expansion to inverse semigroups with an application to partial actions of inverse semigroups. In the process of generalizing the latter expansion, we are led to a new class of idempotent-pure homomorphisms whi...
