Work of Ehresmann and Schein shows that an inverse semigroup can be viewed as a groupoid with an order structure; this approach was generalized by Nambooripad to apply to arbitrary regular semigroups. This paper introduces the notion of an ordered 2-complex and shows how to represent any ordered groupoid as the fundamental groupoid of an ordered 2-complex. This approach then allows us to constr...

Let T X be the full transformation semigroup on the setX and let T X,Y {α ∈ T X : Xα ⊆ Y}. Then T X,Y is a sub-semigroup of T X determined by a nonempty subset Y of X. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for T X,Y to be regular. In the case that T X,Y is not regular, the largest regular sub-semigroup is obtained and this sub-semigroup is shown to determine the Green’s re...

We introduce the notion of path extensions of tiling semigroups and investigate their properties. We show that the path extension of a tiling semigroup yields a strongly F *-inverse cover of the tiling semigroup and that it is isomorphic to an HNN * extension of its semilattice of idempo-tents.

This is a survey paper on algorithms that have been developed during the last 25 years for the explicit computation of the structure of an associative algebra of finite dimension over either a finite field or an algebraic number field. This constructive approach was initiated in 1985 by Friedl and Rónyai and has since been developed by Cohen, de Graaf, Eberly, Giesbrecht, Ivanyos, Küronya and W...

in this paper we study the relation between module amenability of θ - lau product a×θb and that of banach algebras a, b. we also discuss module biprojectivity of a×θb. as a consequent we will see that for an inverse semigroup s, l 1 (s) ×θ l 1 (s) is module amenable if and only if s is amenable.

We study algebraic and topological properties of the convolution semigroups of probability measures on topological groups and show that a compact Clifford topological semigroup S embeds into the convolution semigroup P (G) over some topological group G if and only if S embeds into the semigroup exp(G) of compact subsets of G if and only if S is an inverse semigroup and has zero-dimensional maxi...

In this paper we investigate the Green‎ ‎graphs for the regular and inverse semigroups by considering the‎ ‎Green classes of them‎. ‎And by using the properties of these‎ ‎semigroups‎, ‎we prove that all of the five Green graphs for the‎ ‎inverse semigroups are isomorphic complete graphs‎, ‎while this‎ ‎doesn't hold for the regular semigroups‎. ‎In other words‎, ‎we prove‎ ‎that in a regular se...

By an infinitely distributive inverse semigroup will be meant an inverse semigroup S such that for every subset X ⊆ S and every s ∈ S, if ∨ X exists then so does ∨ (sX), and furthermore ∨ (sX) = s ∨ X. One important aspect is that the infinite distributivity of E(S) implies that of S; that is, if the multiplication of E(S) distributes over all the joins that exist in E(S) then S is infinitely d...

We study inverse semigroup amalgams of the form S U T where S and T are free inverse semigroups and U is an arbitrary nitely generated inverse subsemigroup of S and T. We make use of recent work of Bennett to show that the word problem is decidable for any such amalgam. This is in contrast to the general situation for semigroup amalgams, where recent work of Birget, Margolis and Meakin shows th...

We construct the inverse partition semigroup IPX , isomorphic to the dual symmetric inverse monoid I∗ X , introduced in [6]. We give a convenient geometric illustration for elements of IPX . We describe all maximal subsemigroups of IPX and find a generating set for IPX when X is finite. We prove that all the automorphisms of IPX are inner. We show how to embed the symmetric inverse semigroup in...
