Linear dilatation structures and inverse semigroups

چکیده

A dilatation structure encodes the approximate self-similarity of a metric space. A metric space (X, d) which admits a strong dilatation structure (definition 2.2) has a metric tangent space at any point x ∈ X (theorem 4.1), and any such metric tangent space has an algebraic structure of a conical group (theorem 4.2). Particular examples of conical groups are Carnot groups: these are simply connected Lie groups whose Lie algebra admits a positive graduation. The dilatation structures associated to conical (or Carnot) groups are linear, in the sense of definition 5.3. Thus conical groups are the right generalization of normed vector spaces, from the point of view of dilatation structures. We prove that for dilatation structures linearity is equivalent to a statement about the inverse semigroup generated by the family of dilatations forming a dilatation structure on a metric space. The result is new for Carnot groups and the proof seems to be new even for the particular case of normed vector spaces.

Semigroups with inverse skeletons and Zappa-Sz$acute{rm e}$p products

The aim of this paper is to study semigroups possessing $E$-regular elements, where an element $a$ of a semigroup $S$ is {em $E$-regular} if $a$ has an inverse $a^circ$ such that $aa^circ,a^circ a$ lie in $ Esubseteq 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 ${mathc...

Brandt extensions and primitive topologically periodic inverse topological semigroups

In this paper we find sufficient conditions on primitive inverse topological semigroup S under which: the inversion inv : (H(S)) (H(S)) is continuous; we show that every topologically periodic countable compact primitive inverse topological semigroups with closed H-classes is topologically isomorphic to an orthogonal sum P i2= Bi (Gi) of topological Brandt extensions Bi (Gi) of countably compac...

Automorphisms of partial endomorphism semigroups

In this paper we propose a general recipe for calculating the automorphism groups of semigroups consisting of partial endomorphisms of relational structures with a single m-ary relation for any m ∈ N over a finite set. We use this recipe to determine the automorphism groups of the following semigroups: the full transformation semigroup, the partial transformation semigroup, and the symmetric in...

Partial automorphism semigroups

We study the relationship between algebraic structures and their inverse semigroups of partial automorphisms. We consider a variety of classes of natural structures including equivalence structures, orderings, Boolean algebras, and relatively complemented distributive lattices. For certain subsemigroups of these inverse semigroups, isomorphism (elementary equivalence) of the subsemigroups yield...
