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...

In this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of aBanach algebra and its ideals. We also prove that module contractibility ofa Banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. Finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product l1...

In this paper,  pseudo-amenability and pseudo-Connes amenability of weighted semigroup algebra $ell^1(S,omega)$ are studied. It is proved that pseudo-Connes amenability and pseudo-amenability of weighted group algebra $ell^1(G,omega)$ are the same. Examples are given to show that the class of $sigma$-Connes amenable dual Banach algebras is larger than that of Connes amenable dual Banach algebras.

We prove that the ring of differential operators of any semigroup algebra is finitely generated. In contrast, we also show that the graded ring of the order filtration on the ring of differential operators of a semigroup algebra is finitely generated if and only if the semigroup is scored.  2004 Elsevier Inc.

We define a Riesz type interpolation property for the Cuntz semigroup of a C∗-algebra and prove it is satisfied by the Cuntz semigroup of every C∗-algebra with the ideal property. Related to this, we obtain two characterizations of the ideal property in terms of the Cuntz semigroup of the C∗-algebra. Some additional characterizations are proved in the special case of the stable, purely infinite...

An element a of a semigroup algebra F[S] over a field F is called a right annihilating element of F[S] if xa = 0 for every x ∈ F[S], where 0 denotes the zero of F[S]. The set of all right annihilating elements of F[S] is called the right annihilator of F[S]. In this paper we show that, for an arbitrary field F, if a finite semigroup S is a direct product or semilattice or right zero semigroup o...

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...

A free semigroup algebra is the wot-closed algebra generated by an n-tuple of isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. The interest in these algebras arises primarily from two of their interesting features. The first is that they provide useful information about unitary invariants of representations of the Cuntz–Toeplitz algebras. The second is that they form a class of nonself-adjoint opera...
