A note on strongly $E$-reflexive inverse semigroups

A NOTE ON STRONGLY E-REFLEXrVE INVERSE SEMIGROUPS

In contrast to the semilattice of groups case, an inverse semigroup S which is the union of strongly ^-reflexive inverse subsemigroups need not be strongly £-reflexive. If, however, the union is saturated with respect to the Green's relation <3), and in particular if the union is a disjoint one, then 5 is indeed strongly £-reflexive. This is established by showing that fy -saturated inverse sub...

A note on infinitely distributive inverse semigroups

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...

A Note on Representations of Inverse Semigroups

It is known [l; 2] that every inverse semigroup 5 has a faithful representation as a semigroup of (1, l)-mappings of subsets of a set A into A. The set A may be taken as the set of elements of 5 and the (1, l)-mappings as mappings of principal left ideals of 5 onto principal left ideals of 5. If £ is the set of idempotents of 5 then there is also a representation of 5, not necessarily faithful,...

Strongly F*-inverse covers for tiling semigroups

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.
