We decompose tensor products of the defining representation of a Cartan type Lie algebra W (n) in the case where the number of tensoring does not exceed the rank of the Lie algebra. As a result, we get a kind of Schur duality between W (n) and a finite dimensional non-semisimple algebra, which is the semi-group ring of the transformation semigroup Tm .

Abstract Twisted étale groupoid algebras have recently been studied in the algebraic setting by several authors connection with an abstract theory of Cartan pairs rings. In this paper we show that extensions ample groupoids correspond a precise manner to Boolean inverse semigroups. particular, discrete twists over certain abelian semigroups, and they are classified Lausch’s second cohomology gr...

We investigate the minimal number of generators μ and the depth of divisorial ideals over normal semigroup rings. Such ideals are defined by the inhomogeneous systems of linear inequalities associated with the support hyperplanes of the semigroup. The main result is that for every bound C there exist, up to isomorphism, only finitely divisorial ideals I such that μ(I) ≤ C. It follows that there...

The classical Cuntz semigroup has an important role in the study of C*-algebras, being one of the main invariants used to classify recalcitrant C*-algebras up to isomorphism. We consider C*-algebras that have Hopf algebra structure, and find additional structure in their Cuntz semigroups. We show that in many cases, isomorphisms of Cuntz semigroups that respect this additional structure can be ...

A class of C*-algebras is described for which the homomorphism from C0(0, 1] to the algebra may be classified by means of the Cuntz semigroup functor. Examples are given of algebras—simple and non-simple—for which this classification fails. It is shown that a suitable suspension of the Cuntz semigroup functor deals successfully with some of these counterexamples.

We present sufficient conditions for a unary semigroup variety to have no finite basis for its equational theory. In particular, we exhibit a 6-element involutory semigroup which is inherently non-finitely based as a unary semigroup. As applications we get several naturally arising unary semigroups without finite identity bases, for example: the semigroup of all complex 2 × 2-matrices endowed w...
