Geometri Representations of Inverse Semigroups

Tight Representations of Semilattices and Inverse Semigroups

By a Boolean inverse semigroup we mean an inverse semigroup whose semilattice of idempotents is a Boolean algebra. We study representations of a given inverse semigroup S in a Boolean inverse semigroup which are tight in a certain well defined technical sense. These representations are supposed to preserve as much as possible any trace of Booleannes present in the semilattice of idempotents of ...

A Note on Representations of Inverse Semigroups

It is known [l; 2] that every inverse semigroup 5 has a faithful representation as a semigroup of (1, l)-mappings of subsets of a set A into A. The set A may be taken as the set of elements of 5 and the (1, l)-mappings as mappings of principal left ideals of 5 onto principal left ideals of 5. If £ is the set of idempotents of 5 then there is also a representation of 5, not necessarily faithful,...

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...
