In this paper we develop an analog of the notion of the con- jugacy graph of  nite groups for the  nite semigroups by considering the Green relations of a  nite semigroup. More precisely, by de ning the new graphs $Gamma_{L}(S)$, $Gamma_{H}(S)$, $Gamma_{J}(S)$ and $Gamma_{D}(S)$ (we name them the Green graphs) related to the Green relations L R J H and D of a  nite semigroup S , we  first atte...

The concepts of ∗-relation of a (Γ-)semigroup and Γ̄-adequate transversal of a (Γ-)abundant semigroup are defined in this note. Then we develop a matrix type theory for abundant semigroups. We give some equivalent conditions of a Rees matrix semigroup being abundant and some equivalent conditions of an abundant Rees matrix semigroup having an adequate transversal. Then we obtain some Rees matrix...

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...

A Banach space is polyhedral if the unit ball of each of its finite dimensional subspaces is a polyhedron. It is known that a polyhedral Banach space has a separable dual and is c0-saturated, i.e., each closed infinite dimensional subspace contains an isomorph of c0. In this paper, we show that the Orlicz sequence space hM is isomorphic to a polyhedral Banach space if limt→0 M(Kt)/M(t) = ∞ for ...

The main purpose of the present note is to show (Theorem 2) that any regular ©-class of any semigroup is a partial homomorphic image of a Brandt groupoid. It follows from this that a semigroup with zero is a partial homomorphic image of a Brandt semigroup if and only if it is regular and O-bisimple. In the first section, an alternative formulation is given of the determination by H.-J. Hoehnke ...

in this paper we study some results on noetherian semigroups. we  show that if  $s_s$ is an  strongly  faithful $s$-act and $s$ is a duo weakly noetherian, then we have the following.

We prove a vanishing theorem for the Hodge number h 2;1 of projective toric varieties provided by a certain class of polytopes. We explain how this Hodge number also gives information about the deformation theory of the toric Gorenstein singularity derived from the same polytope. In particular, the vanishing theorem for h 2;1 implies that these deformations are unobstructed.

We introduce a new combinatorial abstraction for the graphs of polyhedra. The new abstraction is a flexible framework defined by combinatorial properties, with each collection of properties taken providing a variant for studying the diameters of polyhedral graphs. One particular variant has a diameter which satisfies the best known upper bound on the diameters of polyhedra. Another variant has ...
