In this paper, we discuss properties of medial idempotents on abundant semigroups, study quasi-adequate semigroups with a normal medial idempotent and some of their extreme cases, and give a description of structure of every type of such semigroups, respectively.

A class of regular semigroups closed under taking direct products, regular subsemigroups, and homomorphic images is an existence-variety (or evariety) of regular semigroups. Each e-variety of locally inverse semigroups can be characterized by a set of bi-identities. These are identities of terms of type (2, 2) in two sorts of variables X and X'. In this paper we obtain a basis of bi-identities ...

In this paper, we study the Morita context for arbitrary semigroups. We prove that, for two semigroups S and T, if there exists a Morita context (S, T, P,Q, τ, μ) (not necessary unital) such that the maps τ and μ are surjective, the categories US-FAct and UT -FAct are equivalent. Using this result, we generalize Theorem 2 in [2] to arbitrary semigroups. Finally, we give a characterization of Mo...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of (α, β)-fuzzy ideals in ternary semigroups, which is a generalization of fuzzy ideals in ternary semigroups. We investigate the related properties of ternary semigroups. The lower and upper parts of fuzzy subsets of a ternary semigroup are defined. Characterizations of regular ternary semigroups by the properties of the lower part of (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy left ...

In their 1936 seminal paper, Birkhoff and von Neumann made the proposal of a non-classical logic for quantum mechanics founded on the basic lattice-order properties of all closed subspaces of a Hilbert space. These lattice-order properties are captured in the orthomodular lattice structure, characterized by a weak form of distributivity called orthomodular law. This “weak distributivity”, which...

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh [20] in 1965, several researchers have been working on the generalization of the fuzzification. In 1986, Atanassov [2] introduced the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. For more details on the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, we refer to [2-4]. Fuzzy sets are intuitionistic fuzzy sets but the converse is not necessarily true [18]. Kim and Jun [7, 8] int...

We introduce the notion of semigroup with a tight ideal series and investigate their closures in semitopological semigroups, particularly inverse semigroups with continuous inversion. As a corollary we show that the symmetric inverse semigroup of finite transformations I n λ of the rank 6 n is algebraically closed in the class of (semi)topological inverse semigroups with continuous inversion. W...

Munn’s construction of a fundamental inverse semigroup TE from a semilattice E provides an important tool in the study of inverse semigroups. We present here a semigroup FE that plays for a class of E-semiadequate semigroups the role that TE plays for inverse semigroups. Every inverse semigroup with semilattice of idempotents E is E-semiadequate. There are however many interesting E-semiadequat...

Semigroups with an additional unary operation called a (right) closure are investigated. These “closure semigroups” may be viewed as (not necessarily regular) generalisations of inverse semigroups, and several powerful structural aspects of inverse semigroup theory are shown to extend naturally to some important classes of closure semigroups. These include representations as partial transformat...

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...
