The finite generation and presentation of Schützenberger products of semigroups are investigated. A general necessary and sufficient condition is established for finite generation. The Schützenberger product of two groups is finitely presented as an inverse semigroup if and only if the groups are finitely presented, but is not finitely presented as a semigroup unless both groups are finite. 200...

The results in this paper were motivated by the case when the inverse semigroup is the McAlister monoid MX on a set X. In [1] we considered some very large convolution algebras on MX , including some C ∗-algebras. Our main focus in [1] was deciding on the primitivity of the algebras, and one key tool was the use of generalized Rukolaine idempotents. To define these very large convolution algebr...

the aim of this paper is to study semigroups possessing $e$-regular elements, where an element $a$ of a semigroup $s$ is {em $e$-regular} if $a$ has an inverse $a^circ$ such that $aa^circ,a^circ a$ lie in $ esubseteq e(s)$. where $s$ possesses `enough' (in a precisely defined way) $e$-regular elements, analogues of green's lemmas and even of green's theorem hold, where green's relations $mbox{$...

A new construction for free inverse semigroups was obtained by Poliakova and Schein in 2005. Based on their result, we find Gröbner-Shirshov bases for free inverse semigroups with respect to the deg-lex order of words. In particular, we give the (unique and shortest) normal forms in the classes of equivalent words of a free inverse semigroup together with the Gröbner-Shirshov algorithm to trans...
