Let R be a ring, M a right R-module and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper we will show that if (S,≤) is a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, then the module [[MS,≤]] of generalized power series is a uniserial right [[RS,≤]] ]]-module if and only if M is a simple right R-module and S is a chain monoid.

In this paper $S$ is a monoid with a left zero and $A_S$ (or $A$) is a unitary right $S$-act. It is shown that a monoid $S$ is right perfect (semiperfect) if and only if every (finitely generated) strongly flat right $S$-act is quasi-projective. Also it is shown that if every right $S$-act has a unique zero element, then the existence of a quasi-projective cover for each right act implies that ...

we prove that if $m$ is a monoid and $a$ a finite set with more than one element‎, ‎then the residual finiteness of $m$ is equivalent to that of the monoid consisting of all cellular automata over $m$ with alphabet $a$‎.

let r be a ring, m a right r-module and (s,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. in this paper we will show that if (s,≤) is a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ s, then the module [[ms,≤]] of generalized power series is a uniserial right [[rs,≤]] ]]-module if and only if m is a simple right r-module and s is a chain monoid.

Finite monoids that generate monoid varieties with uncountably many subvarieties seem rare, and surprisingly, no finite monoid is known to generate a monoid variety with countably infinitely many subvarieties. In the present article, it is shown that there are, nevertheless, many finite monoids that generate monoid varieties with continuum many subvarieties; these include any finite inherently ...

The generators of the Temperley-Lieb algebra generate a monoid with an appealing geometric representation. It has been much studied, notably by Louis Kau¤man. Borisavljevíc, Došen and Petríc gave a complete proof of its abstract presentation by generators and relations, and suggested the name ‘Kau¤man monoid’. We bring the theory of semigroups to the study of a certain …nite homomorphic image o...

We define and study the Picard group of a monoid scheme and the class group of a normal monoid scheme. To do so, we develop some ideal theory for (pointed abelian) noetherian monoids, including primary decomposition and discrete valuations. The normalization of a monoid turns out to be a monoid scheme, but not always a monoid.

We prove that the endomorphism monoid of the infinite random graph R contains as a submonoid an isomorphic copy of each countable monoid. As a corollary, the monoid of R does not satisfy any non-trivial semigroup identity. We also prove that the full transformation monoid on a countably infinite set is isomorphic to a submonoid of the monoid of R.
