چکیده
Inverse semigroups generalise both groups and semilattices, and describe partial symmetries just as groups do for total symmetries; they also arise naturally in appropriately rich categories, essentially as monoids of partial automorphisms. Analogy with the group case suggests that the use of inverse semigroups will be assisted by the development of a workable representation theory. Moreover the representation theory of some operator algebras turns out to be linked with that of inverse semigroups [refs]. We do have one situation where, thanks to Boris Scheins work, the theory is well-developed: e¤ective representations in the symmetric inverse monoid IX decompose to a sumof transitive ones, and every transitive one has an internaldescription in terms of appropriately de ned cosets of closed inverse subsemigroups [ref]. In [3] the authors introduced the categorical dual of IX ; named as thedual symmetric inverse monoid, I X ; but also describable as the inverse semigroup of all block multipermutations of a set X; and as a semigroup of special binary relations with a variant multiplication. Maltcev [4] has independently discovered this semigroup as, apart from an extra zero, a maximal inverse subsemigroup of the composition (or partition) monoid, and so calls it the inverse partition monoid. Surely the protean character of this monoid argues for its importance. Maltcev also describes maximal

Module approximate amenability of Banach algebras
In the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of Banach algebras that are modules over another Banach algebra, are introduced. The general theory is developed and some hereditary properties are given. In analogy with the Banach algebraic approximate amenability, it is shown that module approximate amenability and contractibility are the same ...
متن کاملp-Analog of the Semigroup Fourier-Steiltjes Algebras
In this paper we define the $p$-analog of the restericted reperesentations and also the $p$-analog of the Fourier--Stieltjes algebras on the inverse semigroups . We improve some results about Herz algebras on Clifford semigroups. At the end of this paper we give the necessary and sufficient condition for amenability of these algebras on Clifford semigroups.

Abstract. The relation between representations and positive definite functions is a key concept in harmonic analysis on topological groups. Recently this relation has been studied on topological groupoids. This is the first in a series of papers in which we have investigated a similar relation on inverse semigroups. We use a new concept of ”restricted” representations and study the restricted s...

متن کاملC-crossed Products by Partial Actions and Actions of Inverse Semigroups
The recently developed theory of partial actions of discrete groups on C-algebras is extended. A related concept of actions of inverse semigroups on C-algebras is defined, including covariant representations and crossed products. The main result is that every partial crossed product is a crossed product by a semigroup action.
