چکیده

We investigate when the set of finite products of distinct terms of a sequence 〈xn〉n=1 in a semigroup (S, ·) is large in any of several standard notions of largeness. These include piecewise syndetic, central , syndetic, central* , and IP*. In the case of a “nice” sequence in (S, ·) = (N,+) one has that FS(〈xn〉n=1) has any or all of the first three properties if and only if {xn+1 − ∑n t=1 xt : n ∈ N} is bounded from above.

Notions of Size and Combinatorial Properties of Quotient Sets in Semigroups

An IP* set in a semigroup is one which must intersect the set of finite products from any specified sequence. (If the semigroup is noncommutative, one must specify the order of the products, resulting in “left” and “right” IP* sets.) If A is a subset of N with positive upper density, then the difference set A−A = {x ∈ N : there exists y ∈ A with x+ y ∈ A} is an IP* set in (N,+). Defining analog...

Large Semigroup of Cellular Automata

Abstract. In this article we consider semigroups of transformations of cellular automata which act on a fixed shift space. In particular, we are interested in two properties of these semigroups which relate to “largeness”. The first property is ID and the other property is maximal commutativity (MC). A semigroup has the ID property if the only infinite invariant closed set (with respect to the ...

Derivations on Certain Semigroup Algebras

In the present paper we give a partially negative answer to a conjecture of Ghahramani, Runde and Willis. We also discuss the derivation problem for both foundation semigroup algebras and Clifford semigroup algebras. In particular, we prove that if S is a topological Clifford semigroup for which Es is finite, then H1(M(S),M(S))={0}.

TOPOLOGICALLY STATIONARY LOCALLY COMPACT SEMIGROUP AND AMENABILITY

In this paper, we investigate the concept of topological stationary for locally compact semigroups. In [4], T. Mitchell proved that a semigroup S is right stationary if and only if m(S) has a left Invariant mean. In this case, the set of values ?(f) where ? runs over all left invariant means on m(S) coincides with the set of constants in the weak* closed convex hull of right translates of f. Th...
