In this paper we give a characterization for all semigroups whose square is a group. Moreover, we axiomatize such semigroups and study some relations between the class of these semigroups and Grouplikes,introduced by the author. Also, we observe that this paper characterizes and axiomatizes a class of Homogroups (semigroups containing an ideal subgroup).  Finally, several equivalent conditions ...

Within the usual semidirect product S ∗ T of regular semigroups S and T lies the set Reg (S ∗ T ) of its regular elements. Whenever S or T is completely simple, Reg (S ∗T ) is a (regular) subsemigroup. It is this ‘product’ that is the theme of the paper. It is best studied within the framework of existence (or e-) varieties of regular semigroups. Given two such classes, U and V, the e-variety U...

It is well known that intra-regular semigroups (ordered semigroups) play an essential role in studying the structure of semigroups (ordered semigroups). In this paper we present a structure theorem referring to the decomposition of ordered semigroups into left strongly simple components, that is, into components, which are both simple and left quasi-regular. We prove, among others, that if an o...

Left restriction semigroups have appeared at the convergence of several flows of research, including the theories of abstract semigroups, of partial mappings, of closure operations and even in logic. For instance, they model unary semigroups of partial mappings on a set, where the unary operation takes a map to the identity map on its domain. This perspective leads naturally to dual and two-sid...

Convolution semigroups of states on a quantum group form the natural noncommutative analogue of convolution semigroups of probability measures on a locally compact group. Here we initiate a theory of weakly continuous convolution semigroups of functionals on a C∗-bialgebra, the noncommutative counterpart of a locally compact semigroup. On locally compact quantum groups we obtain a bijective cor...

In this paper, we introduce generalized adjoint semigroups (GA-semigroups) of a ring R. We construct generalized adjoint semigroups on a ring R by means of bitranslations of R. It is shown that GA-semigroups of a π-regular ring are π-regular. As an application we deduce that in any ring, idempotents can be lifted modulo π-regular ideals. GA-semigroups containing idempotents are described in ter...

In this paper a certain class of polyhedral semigroups which has a presentation $$ is examined‎. ‎The completeness of the presentation and solvability of word problem of this class of semigroups is determined‎. ‎Moreover the combinatorial distance between two words is determined‎.

In this paper we study sub-semigroups of a zero-divisor semigroup S determined by properties of the zero-divisor graph Γ(S). We use these sub-semigroups to study the correspondence between zero-divisor semigroups and zero-divisor graphs. We study properties of sub-semigroups of Boolean semigroups via the zero-divisor graph. As an application, we provide a characterization of the graphs which ar...

This paper is a survey of recent results in the theory of nite semigroups using syntactic techniques. This involves manipulating pseudoidentities and the study of relatively free proonite semigroups, whose structure encodes algebraic and combinatorial properties common to the members of a pseudovariety of semigroups. These techniques are illustrated with applications in the study of semigroups ...
