The question of which semigroups have lower semimodular lattice of subsemigroups has been open since the early 1960’s, when the corresponding question was answered for modularity and for upper semimodularity. We provide a characterization of such semigroups in the language of principal factors. Since it is easily seen (and has long been known) that semigroups for which Green’s relation J is tri...

In this paper completely simple semigroups or generalized groups are considered. We characterize generalized groups which are normal generalized groups. Homomorphisms of generalized groups are considered. Equivalent conditions for the kernel of a homomorphism are deduced. We prove that the group components of a generalized group have the same cardinality. We also prove that if G is a finite nor...

A semigroup variety is a Rees-Sushkevich variety if it is contained in a periodic variety generated by 0-simple semigroups. The collection of all permutative combinatorial Rees-Sushkevich varieties constitutes an incomplete lattice that does not contain the complete join J of all its varieties. The objective of this article is to investigate the subvarieties of J. It is shown that J is locally ...

Abstract Let G be a finite group, let A an infinite-dimensional stably simple unital C*-algebra, and $\alpha \colon \to {\operatorname {Aut}} (A)$ action of on which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. $A^{\alpha }$ fixed point algebra. Then radius comparison satisfies ${\operatorname {rc}} (A^{\alpha }) \leq ( C^* (G, A, \alpha ) ({1}/{{{\operatorname{card}}} (G))} \cdot . The inclusion in ...

We prove a generalization of the quantum Markovian equation for observables. In this generalized equation, we use superoperators that are fractional powers of completely dissipative superoperators. We prove that the suggested superoperators are infinitesimal generators of completely positive semigroups and describe the properties of this semigroup. We solve the proposed fractional quantum Marko...

We propose a generalization of the quantum Markovian equation for observables. In this generalized equation, we use superoperators that are fractional powers of completely dissipative superoperators. We prove that the suggested superoperators are infinitesimal generators of completely positive semigroups and describe the properties of this semigroup. We solve the proposed fractional quantum Mar...

In the paper we study (countably) compact and (absolutely) H-closed primitive topological inverse semigroups. We describe the structure of compact and countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroups and show that any countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroup embeds into a compact primitive topological inverse semigroup. In this paper all spaces are Hausdorff. A semigr...

The 3x + 1 semigroup is the multiplicative semigroup S of positive rational numbers generated by { 2k+1 3k+2 : k ≥ 0} together with {2}. This semigroup encodes backwards iteration under the 3x + 1 map, and the 3x + 1 conjecture implies that it contains every positive integer. This semigroup is proved to be the set of positive rationals a b in lowest terms with b 6≡ 0( mod 3), and so contains al...
