چکیده

This paper investigates the preservation of hopficity and co-hopficity on passing to finite-index subsemigroups and extensions. It was already known that hopficity is not preserved on passing to finite Rees index subsemigroups, even in the finitely generated case. We give a stronger example to show that it is not preserved even in the finitely presented case. It was also known that hopficity is not preserved in general on passing to finite Rees index extensions, but that it is preserved in the finitely generated case. We show that, in contrast, hopficity is not preserved on passing to finite Green index extensions, even within the class of finitely presented semigroups. Turning to co-hopficity, we prove that within the class of finitely generated semigroups, co-hopficity is preAcknowledgements: The first author’s research was funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the programme compete and by the Portuguese Government through the fct (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) under the project pest-c/mat/ui0144/2011 and through an fct Ciência 2008 fellowship.

Semi Hopfian and Semi Co-Hopfian Modules over Generalized Power Series Rings

Let (S,≤) be a strictly totally ordered monoid, R be a commutative ring and M be an R-module. We show the following results: (1) If (S,≤) satisfies the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, then the module [[MS,≤]] of generalized power series is a semi Hopfian [[RS,≤]]-module if and only if M is a semi Hopfian R-module; (2) If (S,≤) is artinian, then the generalized inverse polynomial module [MS,...

Generalizations of Hopfian and co-Hopfian modules

In this paper, all rings are associative with identity and all modules are unital left modules unless otherwise specified. Let R be a ring and M a module. N ≤M will mean N is a submodule of M. A submodule E of M is called essential in M (notation E ≤e M) if E∩A = 0 for any nonzero submodule A of M. Dually, a submodule S of M is called small in M (notation S M) if M = S+T for any proper submodul...

On co-Hopfian nilpotent groups

We characterize co-Hopfian finitely generated torsion free nilpotent groups in terms of their Lie algebra automorphisms, and construct many examples of such groups.

Ring Endomorphisms with Large Images

The notion of ring endomorphisms having large images is introduced. Among others, injectivity and surjectivity of such endomorphisms are studied. It is proved, in particular, that an endomorphism σ of a prime one-sided noetherian ringR is injective whenever the image σ(R) contains an essential left ideal L of R. If additionally σ(L) = L, then σ is an automorphism of R. Examples showing that the...
