چکیده

We prove that left cancellative right hereditary monoids satisfying the dedekind height property are precisely the Zappa-Szép products of free monoids and groups. The ‘fundamental’ monoids of this type are in bijective correspondence with faithful self-similar group actions. 2000 AMS Subject Classification: 20M10, 20M50. 1 A class of left cancellative monoids This paper develops some ideas that were touched on first in our paper [6], where we corrected an error in Nivat and Perrot’s [8] generalisation of some pioneering work by David Rees [9]. In this section, we define the class of monoids we shall be interested in. An important role in this paper will be played by free monoids. If X is a set then X denotes the free monoid generated by X. Elements of X are strings and the length of a string x is denoted by |x|. The prefix order on X is defined by x ≤ y iff x = yz for some string z. An S-act or act (X,S) is an action of a monoid S on a set X on the right. If S is a monoid then (S, S) is an act by right multiplication. If Y ⊆ X is a subset such that Y S ⊆ Y then we say that Y is an S-subact or just a subact. Right ideals of S are subacts under right multiplication. If X and Y are acts then a function θ from X to Y is an S-homomorphism or just a homomorphism if θ(xs) = θ(x)s for all x ∈ X and s ∈ S. For a fixed S, we can form the category consisting of S-acts and the homomorphisms between them. The usual definitions from module theory can be adapted to the theory of acts. In particular, we can define when an act is projective. A monoid S is said to be right PP if all its principal

Semigroups with Inverse Skeletons and Zappa-szép Products

The aim of this paper is to study semigroups possessing E-regular elements, where an element a of a semigroup S is E-regular if a has an inverse a◦ such that aa◦, a◦a lie in E ⊆ E(S). Where S possesses ‘enough’ (in a precisely defined way) E-regular elements, analogues of Green’s lemmas and even of Green’s theorem hold, where Green’s relations R,L,H and D are replaced by R̃E , L̃E , H̃E and D̃E .

On the Zappa-szép Product

The semidirect product of two groups is a natural generalization of the direct product of two groups in that the requirement that both factors be normal in the product is replaced by the weaker requirement that only one of the factors be normal in the product. The Zappa-Szép product of two groups is a natural generalization of the semidirect product of two groups in that neither factor is requi...

A monoid associated with a self-similar group action

We prove that there is a correspondence between self-similar group actions and the class of left cancellative right hereditary monoids satisfying the dedekind height property. The monoids in question turn out to be coextensive with the Zappa-Szép products of free monoids and groups, and the ideal structure of the monoid reflects properties of the group action. These monoids can also be viewed a...
