This paper studies automatic structures for subsemigroups of Baumslag–Solitar semigroups (that is, semigroups presented by ⟨x, y | (yx, xy)⟩ where m,n ∈ N). A geometric argument (a rarity in the field of automatic semigroups) is used to show that if m > n, all of the finitely generated subsemigroups of this semigroup are [right-] automatic. If m < n, all of its finitely generated subsemigroups ...

In the present paper we give a partially negative answer to a conjecture of Ghahramani, Runde and Willis. We also discuss the derivation problem for both foundation semigroup algebras and Clifford semigroup algebras. In particular, we prove that if S is a topological Clifford semigroup for which Es is finite, then H1(M(S),M(S))={0}.

the main purpose of this paper is to establish a relation between universality of certain p-compactifications of a semitopological semigroup and their corresponding enveloping semigroups. in particular, we show that if we take p to be the property that the enveloping semigroup of a compactification of a semitopological semigroup s is left simple, a group, or the trivial singleton semigroup, the...

Let S be a locally compact foundation semigroup with identity and                          be its semigroup algebra. Let X be a weak*-closed left translation invariant subspace of    In this paper, we prove that  X  is invariantly  complemented in   if and  only if  the left ideal  of    has a bounded approximate identity. We also prove that a foundation semigroup with identity S is left amenab...

A Schmidt group is a non-nilpotent finite group in which each proper subgroup is nilpotent. Each Schmidt group G can be described by three parameters p, q and v, where p and q are different primes and v is a natural number, v ≥ 1. Denote by S the class of all Schmidt groups which have the same parameters p, q and v. It is shown in this paper that the class S can be characterized by the properti...

We demonstrate that the perforative phenomena shown to occur among simple amenable C∗-algebras by Villadsen and Toms can be realized within a dynamical framework. More specifically, we construct a minimal homeomorphism for which the K0 group of the crossed product fails to be weakly unperforated, and a minimal homeomorphism for which the crossed product has the same Elliott invariant as an AT-a...

We consider a model for diffusive phase transitions, for instance, the component separation in a binary mixture. Our model is described by two functions, the absolutete temperature θ := θ(t, x) and the order parameter w := w(t, x), which are governed by a system of two nonlinear parabolic PDEs. The order parameter w is constrained to have double obstacles σ∗ ≤ w ≤ σ∗ (i.e., σ∗ and σ∗ are the th...

our aim in this paper is to introduce the notion of fuzzy soft near-subtraction semigroupsand fuzzy soft ideals of near-subtraction semigroups. we discuss some important properties of these new fuzzy algebraic structure and investigate some examples and counter examples.

Two Divisibility Tests for Smarandache semigroups are given . Further, the notion of divisibility of elements in a semigroup is applied to characterize the Smarandache semigroups. Examples are provided for justification.

In this paper we propose a general recipe for calculating the automorphism groups of semigroups consisting of partial endomorphisms of relational structures with a single m-ary relation for any m ∈ N over a finite set. We use this recipe to determine the automorphism groups of the following semigroups: the full transformation semigroup, the partial transformation semigroup, and the symmetric in...
