Semidistributive Inverse Semigroups, II

On lattice isomorphisms of inverse semigroups, II

A lattice isomorphism between inverse semigroups S and T is an isomorphism between their lattices of inverse subsemigroups. When S is aperiodic, it has long been known that a bijection is induced between S and T . Various authors have introduced successively weaker ‘archimedean’ hypotheses under which this bijection is necessarily an isomorphism, naturally inducing the original lattice isomorph...

Restricted Algebras on Inverse Semigroups - Part II: Positive Definite Functions

The relation between representations and positive definite functions is a key concept in harmonic analysis on topological groups. Recently this relation has been studied on topological groupoids. In this paper, we investigate the concept of restricted positive definite functions and their relation with restricted representations of an inverse semigroup. We also introduce the restricted Fourier ...

Resticted Algebras on Inverse Semigroups Ii, Positive Definite Functions

In [1] we introduced the concept of restricted representations for an inverse semigroup S and studied the restricted forms of some important Banach algebras on S. In this paper, we continue our study by considering the relation between the restricted positive definite functions and retricted representations. In particular, we prove restricted versions of the Godement’s characterization of the p...

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...
