The direct product of a free group and a polycyclic group is known to be coherent. This paper shows that every finitely generated subsemigroup of the direct product of a virtually free group and an abelian group admits a finite Malcev presentation. (A Malcev presentation is a presentation of a special type for a semigroup that embeds into a group. A group is virtually free if it contains a free...

This paper studies the cycle indices of products of permutation groups. The main focus is on the product action of the direct product of permutation groups. The number of orbits of the product on n-tuples is trivial to compute from the numbers of orbits of the factors; on the other hand, computing the cycle index of the product is more intricate. Reconciling the two computations leads to some i...

We exhibit a family of infinite, finitely-presented, nilpotent-byabelian groups. Each member of this family is a solvable S-arithmetic group that is related to Baumslag-Solitar groups, and everyone of these groups has a quasi-isometry group that is virtually a product of a solvable real Lie group and a solvable p-adic Lie group. In addition, we propose a candidate for a polycyclic group whose q...

in this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of abanach algebra and its ideals. we also prove that module contractibility ofa banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup s with the set of idempotents e is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product ...

In this note first by considering the notion of general fuzzy automata (for simplicity GFA), we define the notions of direct product, restricted direct product and join of two GFA. Also, we introduce some operations on (Fuzzy) sets and then prove some related theorems. Finally we construct the general fuzzy recognizers and recognizable sets and give the notion of (trim) reversal of a given GFA....
