Decreasing Baer semigroups

Daggers, Kernels, Baer *-semigroups, and Orthomodularity

We discuss issues related to constructing an orthomodular structure from an object in a category. In particular, we consider axiomatics related to Baer *-semigroups, partial semigroups, and various constructions involving dagger categories, kernels, and biproducts.

On Maximal Subsemigroups of Partial Baer-Levi Semigroups

Suppose that X is an infinite set with |X| ≥ q ≥ א0 and I X is the symmetric inverse semigroup defined on X. In 1984, Levi and Wood determined a class of maximal subsemigroups MA using certain subsets A of X of the Baer-Levi semigroup BL q {α ∈ I X : dom α X and |X \ Xα| q}. Later, in 1995, Hotzel showed that there are many other classes of maximal subsemigroups of BL q , but these are far more...

Locally Compact Baer Rings

Locally direct sums [W, Definition 3.15] appeared naturally in classification results for topological rings (see, e.g.,[K2], [S1], [S2], [S3], [U1]). We give here a result (Theorem 3) for locally compact Baer rings by using of locally direct sums. 1. Conventions and definitions All topological rings are assumed associative and Hausdorff. The subring generated by a subset A of a ring R is denote...

Gender Differences - Baer - Kaufman.p65

Research on gender differences in creativity, including creativity test scores, creative achievements, and self-reported creativity is reviewed, as are theories that have been offered to explain such differences and available evidence that supports or refutes such theories. This is a difficult arena in which to conduct research, but there is a consistent lack of gender differences both in creat...
