For Ω a Polish space we consider operator semigroups on the space Cb(Ω) of bounded, continuous functions and on the space M (Ω) of bounded Borel measures. The important fact here is that the dual of Cb(Ω) with the strict topology is M (Ω). We pursue the approach via bi-continuous semigroups, but we also show that the class of bi-continuous semigroups on Cb(Ω) with respect to the compact-open to...

The algebraic structure of divisible abelian semigroups has been studied in [9] and [l]. Some results on the topological and algebraic structure of compact uniquely divisible abelian semigroups have been obtained in [4] and [5]. A statement of equivalent conditions for a compact abelian semigroup to be divisible is presented in the present paper. Some of the results in [4] are extended to subun...

We present sufficient conditions for a unary semigroup variety to have no finite basis for its equational theory. In particular, we exhibit a 6-element involutory semigroup which is inherently non-finitely based as a unary semigroup. As applications we get several naturally arising unary semigroups without finite identity bases, for example: the semigroup of all complex 2 × 2-matrices endowed w...

Let S be an ordered semigroup. In this paper we first introduce the concepts of (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy ideals, (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy bi-ideals and (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy generalized bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup S, and investigate their related properties. Furthermore, we also define the upper and lower parts of fuzzy subsets of an ordered semigroup S, and investigate the properties of (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy ideals of S....

We present a polynomial-time reduction of the discrete logarithm problem in any periodic (a.k.a. torsion) semigroup (Semigroup DLP) to the classic DLP in a subgroup of the same semigroup. It follows that Semigroup DLP can be solved in polynomial time by quantum computers, and that Semigroup DLP has subexponential algorithms whenever the classic DLP in the corresponding groups has subexponential...

several tables have been given due to a − minimal sets. our main aim in this paper is tocomplete these tables by employing several examples.

Starting from the symmetric group Sn , we construct two fiat 2-categories. One of them can be viewed as the fiat “extension” of the natural 2-category associated with the symmetric inverse semigroup (considered as an ordered semigroup with respect to the natural order). This 2-category provides a fiat categorification for the integral semigroup algebra of the symmetric inverse semigroup. The ot...

in this paper, a commutative semigroup will be written as a disjoint :union: of its cancellative subsemigroups. based on this fact we will define the left regular representation of a commutative separative semigroup and show that this representation is faithful. finally concrete examples of commutative separative semigroups, their decompositions and their left regular representations are given.

This paper applies the concept of FA-presentable structures to semigroups. We give a complete classification of the finitely generated FA-presentable cancellative semigroups: namely, a finitely generated cancellative semigroup is FA-presentable if and only if it is a subsemigroup of a virtually abelian group. We prove that all finitely generated commutative semigroups are FA-presentable. We giv...
