In this paper, the concept of semiprimary fuzzy ideals of an ordered semigroup S is introduced. Some characterizations for an ordered semigroup S to be a semilattice of archimedean (rarchimedean, t-archimedean) ordered subsemigroups are given by some binary relations on S and the fuzzy radical of fuzzy ideals (fuzzy right ideals, fuzzy bi-ideals) of S. Furthermore, some characterizations for an...

The t-class semigroup of an integral domain is the semigroup of the isomorphy classes of the t-ideals with the operation induced by ideal t-multiplication. This paper investigates ring-theoretic properties of an integral domain that reflect reciprocally in the Clifford or Boolean property of its t-class semigroup. Contexts (including Lipman and Sally-Vasconcelos stability) that suit best t-mult...

We discuss some of the experimental motivation for the need for semigroup decay laws, and the quantum Lax-Phillips theory of scattering and unstable systems. In this framework, the decay of an unstable system is described by a semigroup. The spectrum of the generator of the semigroup corresponds to the singularities of the Lax-Phillips S-matrix. In the case of discrete (complex) spectrum of the...

A semigroup variety is called a Cross variety if it is finitely based, is generated by a finite semigroup, and has a finite lattice of subvarieties. It is established in which cases the wreath product of two semigroup varieties each of which is an atom of the lattice of semigroup varieties is a Cross variety. Furthermore, for all the pairs of atoms U and V for which this is possible, either a f...

We consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (S, X , ?) and show that if X is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of S on X, then every continuous function on X, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. We also use a number of diverse examples to show ...

The recent proof of the Boij-Söderberg conjectures reveals new structure about Betti diagrams of modules, giving a complete description of the cone of Betti diagrams. We begin to expand on this new structure by investigating the semigroup of Betti diagrams. We prove that this semigroup is finitely generated, and we answer several other fundamental questions about this semigroup.

We show that the monoid M2(T) of 2 × 2 tropical matrices is a regular semigroup satisfying the semigroup identity A2B4A2A2B2A2B4A2 =A2B4A2B2A2A2B4A2. Studying reduced identities for subsemigroups of M2(T), and introducing a faithful semigroup representation for the bicyclic monoid by 2 × 2 tropical matrices, we reprove Adjan’s identity for the bicyclic monoid in a much simpler way.

In this article, we study the Bergman property for semigroups and the associated notions of cofinality and strong cofinality. A large part of the paper is devoted to determining when the Bergman property, and the values of the cofinality and strong cofinality, can be passed from semigroups to subsemigroups and vice versa. Numerous examples, including many important semigroups from the literatur...
