Shortly connected and shortly linked inverse semigroups arise in the study of inverse semigroups determined by the lattices of inverse subsemigroups and by the partial automorphism semigroups. It has been shown that every shortly linked inverse semigroup is shortly connected, but the question of whether the converse is true has not been addressed. Here we construct two examples of combinatorial shortly connected inverse semigroups which are not shortly linked. One of them is completely semisimple while the other is not.

AbstractIn a previous paper ([14]) the author showed that a free inverse semigroup is determined by its lattice of inverse subsemigroups, in the sense that for any inverse semigroup T, implies . (In fact, the lattice isomorphism is induced by an isomorphism of upon T.) In this paper the results leading up to that theorem are generalized (from completely semisimple to arbitrary inverse semigroups) and applied to various classes, including simple, fundamental and E-unitary inverse semigroups. In particular it is shown that the free product of two groups in the category of inverse semigroups is determined by its lattice of inverse subsemigroups.

Much of the structure theory of inverse semigroups is based on constructing arbitrary inverse semigroups from groups and semilattices. It is known that E-unitary (or proper) inverse semigroups may be described as P-semigroups (McAlister), or inverse subsemigroups of semidirect products of a semilattice by a group (O'Carroll) or Cu-semigroups built over an inverse category acted upon by a group (Margolis and Pin). On the other hand, every inverse semigroup is known to have an E-unitary inverse cover (McAlister). The aim of this paper is to develop a similar theory for proper weakly left ample semigroups, a class with properties echoing those of inverse semigroups. We show how the structure of semigroups in this class is based on constructing semigroups from unipotent monoids and semilattices. The results corresponding to those of McAlister, O'Carroll and Margolis and Pin are obtained.

The structure of semigroups whose subsemigroups form a chain under inclusion was determined by Tamura [9]. If we consider the analogous problem for inverse semigroups it is immediate that (since idempotents are singleton inverse subsemigroups) any inverse semigroup whose inverse subsemigroups form a chain is a group. We will therefore, continuing the approach of [5, 6], consider inverse semigroups whose full inverse subsemigroups form a chain: we call these inverse ▽-semigroups.

An inverse semigroup [Formula: see text] is a semigroup in which every element has a unique inverse in the sense of semigroup theory, that is, if [Formula: see text] then there exists a unique [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We say that a countable inverse semigroup [Formula: see text] is a homogeneous (inverse) semigroup if any isomorphism between finitely generated (inverse) subsemigroups of [Formula: see text] extends to an automorphism of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we consider both these concepts of homogeneity for inverse semigroups, and show when they are equivalent. We also obtain certain classifications of homogeneous inverse semigroups, in particular periodic commutative inverse semigroups. Our results may be seen as extending both the classification of homogeneous semilattices and the classification of certain classes of homogeneous groups, such as homogeneous abelian groups and homogeneous finite groups.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that lower bounded HNN-extensions of inverse semigroups and HNN-extensions of finite inverse semigroups are completely semisimple semigroups. Since it is well known that an inverse semigroup is completely semisimple if and only if it does not contain a copy of the bicyclic semigroup, we first characterize such HNN-extensions containing a bicyclic subsemigroup making use of the special feature of their Schützenberger automata.

AbstractFor an inverse semigroup S, the set of all isomorphisms betweeninverse subsemigroups of S is an inverse monoid under composition which is denoted by (S) and called the partial automorphism monoid of S. Kirkwood [7] and Libih [8] determined which groups have Clifford partial automorphism monoids. Here we investigate the structure of inverse semigroups whose partial automorphism monoids belong to certain other important classes of inverse semigroups. First of all, we describe (modulo so called “exceptional” groups) all inverse semigroups S such that (S) is completely semisimple. Secondly, for an inverse semigroup S, we find a convenient description of the greatest idempotent-separating congruence on (S), using a well-known general expression for this congruence due to Howie, and describe all those inverse semigroups whose partial automorphism monoids are fundamental.

AbstractPaterson showed how to construct an étale groupoid from an inverse semigroup using ideas from functional analysis. This construction was later simplified by Lenz. We show that Lenz’s construction can itself be further simplified by using filters: the topological groupoid associated with an inverse semigroup is precisely a groupoid of filters. In addition, idempotent filters are closed inverse subsemigroups and so determine transitive representations by means of partial bijections. This connection between filters and representations by partial bijections is exploited to show how linear representations of inverse semigroups can be constructed from the groups occurring in the associated topological groupoid.

It is well known that an inverse semigroup is completely semisimple if and only if it does not contain a copy of the bicyclic semigroup. We characterize the amalgams [S1, S2; U] of two finite inverse semigroups S1, S2whose free product with amalgamation is completely semisimple and we show that checking whether the amalgamated free product of finite inverse semigroups contains a bicyclic subsemigroup is decidable by means of a polynomial time algorithm with respect to max {|S1|,|S2|}. Moreover we consider amalgams of finite inverse semigroups respecting the [Formula: see text]-order proving that the free product with amalgamation is completely semisimple and we also provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the [Formula: see text]-classes to be finite.

Let S be an inverse semigroup and let F be a subring of the complex field containing 1 and closed under complex conjugation. This paper concerns the existence of trace functions on F[S], the semigroup algebra of S over F. Necessary and sufficient conditions on S are found for the existence of a trace function on F[S] that takes positive integral values on the idempotents of S. Although F[S] does not always admit a trace function, a weaker form of linear functional is shown to exist for all choices of S. This is used to show that the natural involution on F[S] is special. It also leads to the construction of a trace function on F[S] for the case in which F is the real or complex field and S is completely semisimple of a type that includes countable free inverse semigroups.

For any positive integer n > 1 we construct an example of inverse semigroup with n generators and n - 1 defining relations which has cubic growth and at least n generators in any presentation. This semigroup has the same set of identities as the free monogenic inverse semigroup. In particular, we give the first example of a one relation nonmonogenic inverse semigroup having polynomial growth. We also prove that for any positive integer n there exists an inverse semigroup ϒn of deficiency 1 and rank n + 1 such that ϒn has exponential growth and it does not contain nonmonogenic free inverse subsemigroups. Furthermore, ϒn satisfies the identity [[x, y], [z, t]]2 = [[x, y], [z, t]] of quasi-solvability and it contains a free subsemigroup of rank 2.
