in the present paper, we consider biflatness of certain classes of semigroupalgebras. indeed, we give a necessary condition for a band semigroup algebra to bebiflat and show that this condition is not sufficient. also, for a certain class of inversesemigroups s, we show that the biflatness of ell^{1}(s)^{primeprime} is equivalent to the biprojectivity of ell^{1}(s).

Inspired by the results of [APR], we propose combinatorial Gelfand models for semigroup algebras of some finite semigroups, which include the symmetric inverse semigroup, the dual symmetric inverse semigroup, the maximal factorizable subsemigroup in the dual symmetric inverse semigroup, and the factor power of the symmetric group. Furthermore we extend the Gelfand model for the semigroup algebr...

In the paper we study (countably) compact and (absolutely) H-closed primitive topological inverse semigroups. We describe the structure of compact and countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroups and show that any countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroup embeds into a compact primitive topological inverse semigroup. In this paper all spaces are Hausdorff. A semigr...

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 subsemigroup S of an inverse semigroup Q is a left I-order in Q, if every element in Q can be written as a−1b where a, b ∈ S and a−1 is the inverse of a in the sense of inverse semigroup theory. We study a characterisation of semigroups which have a primitive inverse semigroup of left I-quotients.

We establish topological properties of the topological symmetric inverse semigroup of finite transformations I n λ of the rank 6 n. We show that the topological inverse semigroup I n λ is algebraically closed in the class of topological inverse semigroups. Many topologists established topological property of topological spaces of partial continuous maps PC (X, Y ) from a topological space X int...

By a Boolean inverse semigroup we mean an inverse semigroup whose semilattice of idempotents is a Boolean algebra. We study representations of a given inverse semigroup S in a Boolean inverse semigroup which are tight in a certain well defined technical sense. These representations are supposed to preserve as much as possible any trace of Booleannes present in the semilattice of idempotents of ...

Munn’s construction of a fundamental inverse semigroup TE from a semilattice E provides an important tool in the study of inverse semigroups. We present here a semigroup FE that plays for a class of E-semiadequate semigroups the role that TE plays for inverse semigroups. Every inverse semigroup with semilattice of idempotents E is E-semiadequate. There are however many interesting E-semiadequat...
