We investigate E^*-dense semi\-groups as analogues of E-densesemigroupsfor semigroups with zero. We give a characterisation theorem forE^*-dense semigroups whose idempotents form a *-rectangularband. The construction methods of generalised Rees matrix semigroupsare employed to provide examples and illustrations. Our results areanalogous to those of Weipoltshammer for E-dense semigroups.

ON THE STRUCTURE OF REGULAR CRYPTO SEMIGROUPS

Superabundant semigroups are generalizations of completely regular semigroups written the class of abundant semigroups. It has been shown by Fountain that an abundant semigroup is superabundant if and only if it is a semilattice of completely J ^*-simple semigroups. Reilly and Petrich called a semigroup S cryptic if the Green's relation H is a congruence on S. In this paper, we call a superabundant semigroup S a regular crypto semigroup if H ^* is a congruence on S such that S/H ^* is a regular band. It will be proved that a superabundant semigroup S is a regular crypto semigroup if and only if S is a refined semilattice of completely J ^*-simple semigroups. Thus, regular crypto semigroups are generalization of the cryptic semigroups as well as abundant semigroups.     

Some relations on completely regular semigroups

A semigroup S is called a Clifford semigroup if it is completely regular and inverse. In this paper, some relations related to the least Clifford semigroup congruences on completely regular semigroups are characterized. We give the relation between Y and ξ on completely regular semigroups and get that Y ^* is contained in the least Clifford congruence on completely regular semigroups generally. Further, we consider the relation Y ^*, Y, ν and ε on completely simple semigroups and completely regular semigroups.

The Structure of 0 -Bisimple Strongly E * -unitary Inverse Monoids

Abstract. We introduce a class of strongly E ^* -unitary inverse semigroups S _i (G,P) (i=1,2) determined by a group G and a submonoid P of G and give an embedding theorem for S _i (G,P) . Moreover we characterize 0 -bisimple strongly E ^* -unitary inverse monoids and 0 -bisimple strongly F ^* -inverse monoids by using S _i (G,P) .     

Zero-Semidistributive Inverse Semigroups

An inverse semigroup S is said to be 0-semidistributive if its lattice ?F (S) of full inverse subsemigroups is 0-semidistributive. We show that it is sufficient to study simple inverse semigroups which are not groups. Our main theorem states that such a simple inverse semigroup S is 0-semidistributive if and only if (1) S is E-unitary, (2) S is aperiodic, (3) for any a,b ∈ S/σ with ab ≠ 1, there exist nonzero integers n and m such that (ab) ^m  = a ⁿ or (ab) ^m  = b ⁿ , where σ is the minimum group congruence on S.     

E ∗-dense E-semigroups

We obtain a covering theorem for E ^?-dense E-semigroups showing that such a semigroup has an E ^?-dense, strongly E ^?-unitary E-semigroup as a cover and describe the structure of the latter semigroups.     

The structure of 0-bisimple strongly E *-unitary inverse monoids

We introduce a class of strongly E ^*-unitary inverse semigroups S _i (G, P) (i = 1,2) determined by a group G and a submonoid P of G and give an embedding theorem for S _i (G, P). Moreover we characterize 0-bisimple strongly E ^*-unitary inverse monoids and 0-bisimple strongly F ^*-inverse monoids by using S _i (G, P).     

Multipliers of weighted semigroups and associated Beurling Banach algebras

Given a weighted discrete abelian semigroup (S, ω), the semigroup M _ω (S) of ω-bounded multipliers as well as the Rees quotient M _ω (S)/S together with their respective weights [(w)\tilde]\tilde{\omega} and [(w)\tilde]_q\tilde{\omega}_q induced by ω are studied; for a large class of weights ω, the quotient l¹(M_w(S),[(w)\tilde])/l¹(S,w)\ell^1(M_{\omega}(S),\tilde{\omega})/\ell^1(S,{\omega}) is realized as a Beurling algebra on the quotient semigroup M _ω (S)/S; the Gel’fand spaces of these algebras are determined; and Banach algebra properties like semisimplicity, uniqueness of uniform norm and regularity of associated Beurling algebras on these semigroups are investigated. The involutive analogues of these are also considered. The results are exhibited in the context of several examples.     

A Note on Aluthge Transforms of Complex Symmetric Operators and Applications

In this paper, we reprove that: (i) the Aluthge transform of a complex symmetric operator [(T)\tilde] = |T|^\frac12 U|T|^\frac12\tilde{T} = |T|^{\frac{1}{2}} U|T|^{\frac{1}{2}} is complex symmetric, (ii) if T is a complex symmetric operator, then ([(T)\tilde])^*(\tilde{T})^{*} and [(T^*)\tilde]\widetilde{T^{*}} are unitarily equivalent. And we also prove that: (iii) if T is a complex symmetric operator, then [((T^*))\tilde]_s,t\widetilde{(T^{*})}_{s,t} and ([(T)\tilde]_t,s)^*(\tilde{T}_{t,s})^{*} are unitarily equivalent for s, t > 0, (iv) if a complex symmetric operator T belongs to class wA(t, t), then T is normal.     

A class of regular semigroups with regular *- transversals

Let S be a regular semigroup. If there is a subsemigroup S ^* of S and a unary operation * in S satisfying: (1) x ^* ∈ S ^* \cap V_ S ^* (x) for all x∈ S; (2) (x ^* ) ^* =x for all x∈ S ^* ; (3) (x ^* y) ^* =y ^* x ^** and (xy ^* ) ^* =y ^** x ^* for all x,y∈ S, then S ^* is called a regular *- transversal of S ; if (3) is replaced with (xy) ^* =y ^* x ^* for all x,y∈ S, then S ^* is called a strongly regular *- transversal of S. In this paper we consider the class of regular semigroups with a strongly regular *- transversal. It is proved that these semigroups are P - regular semigroups. We characterize the structure of the regular semigroups with a strongly regular *- transversal.     

Representation of congruences on regular semigroups with inverse transversals

For a regular semigroup with an inverse transversal, we have Saito’s structureW(I,S ^o, Λ, *, {α, β}). We represent congruences on this kind of semigroups by the so-called congruence assemblage which consist of congruences on the structure component partsI,S ^o and Λ. The structure of images of this type of semigroups is also presented. This work is supported by Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province     

Variants of Regular Semigroups

Let S be a regular semigroup, and let a ∈ S . Then a variant of S with respect to a is a semigroup with underlying set S and multiplication \circ defined by x \circ y = xay . In this paper, we characterise the regularity preserving elements of regular semigroups; these are the elements a such that (S,\circ) is also regular. Hickey showed that the set of regularity preserving elements can function as a replacement for the unit group when S does not have an identity. As an application, we characterise the regularity preserving elements in certain Rees matrix semigroups. We also establish connections with work of Loganathan and Chandrasekaran, and with McAlister's work on inverse transversals in locally inverse semigroups. We also investigate the structure of arbitrary variants of regular semigroups concentrating on how the local structure of a semigroup affects the structure of its variants. May 24, 1999     

A Representation for $F$-Regular Semigroups

A regular (inverse) semigroup S is called F-regular (F-inverse), if each class of the least group congruence _S contains a greatest element with respect to the natural partial order on S. Such a semigroup is necessarily an E-unitary regular (hence orthodox) monoid. We show that each F-regular semigroup S is isomorphic to a well determined subsemigroup of a semidirect product of a band X by S/_S, where X belongs to the band variety, generated by the band of idempotents E_S of S. Our main result, Theorem 4, is the regular version of the corresponding fact for inverse semigroups, and might be useful to generalize further features of the theory of F-inverse semigroups to the F-regular case.     

Amenability of semigroups and their algebras modulo a group congruence

We investigate the amenability of the semigroup algebras \({\ell^1(S/\rho)}\) , where \({\rho}\) is a group congruence (not necessarily minimal) on a semigroup S. We relate this to a new notion of amenability of Banach algebras modulo an ideal, to prove a version of Johnson’s theorem for a large class of semigroups, including inverse semigroups, E-inversive semigroup and E-inversive E-semigroups.

Subdirect products of regular semigroups

A nonempty subset X contained in anH-class of a regular semigroup S is called agroup coset in S if XX′X=X and X′XX′=X′ where X′ is the set of inverses of elements of X contained in anH-class of S. Let μ denote the maximum idempotent separating congruence on S. We show in Section 1 of this paper that the set K(S) of group cosets in S contained in the μ-classes of S is a regular semigroup with a suitably defined product. In Section 2, we describe subdirect products of twoinductive groupoids in terms of certain maps called ‘subhomomorphisms’. A special class of subdirect products, called S^*-direct products, is described in Section 3. In the remaining two sections, we give some applications of the construction of S^*-direct products for describing coextensions of regular semigroups and for providing a covering theorem for pseudo-inverse semigroups.     

Star-operations on semigroups

Let S be a grading monoid with quotient group q(S) , let F(S) be the set of fractional ideals of S . For A ∈ F(S) , define A _w = {x ∈ q(S) \mid J+x \subseteq A for some f.g. ideal J of S with J ^-1 =S} and A_ \overline w ={x ∈ q(S)\mid J+x \subseteq A for some ideal J of S with J ^-1 =S} . Then w and \overline w are star-operations on F(S) such that w ≤ \overline w . Using these star-operations, we give characterizations of Krull semigroups and pre-Krull semigroups. Also we show that for every maximal * -ideal P of S , if S _P is a valuation semigroup, then * -cancellation ideals are * -locally principal ideals, where * is a star-operation on S of finite character. Finally, we show that S is a pre-Krull semigroup (H-semigroup) if and only if the polynomial semigroup S[x] is a pre-Krull semigroup (H-semigroup). October 15, 1999
