Using the characterization of the free inverse semigroup F on a set X, given by Scheiblich, a necessary and sufficient condition is found for a subset K of an inverse semigroup S to be a set of free generators for the inverse sub semigroup of S generated by K. It is then shown that any non-idempotent element of F generates the free inverse semigroup on one generator and that if |X| > 2 then F contains the free inverse semigroup on a countable number of generators. In addition, it is shown that if |X| = 1 then F does not contain the free inverse semigroup on two generators.

In [1], Theorem 2.2, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for a subset of an inverse semigroup to generate a free inverse subsemigroup. However one very obvious further condition is omitted. The result should read as follows.

An algebra has the Howson property if the intersection of any two finitely generated subalgebras is again finitely generated. A simple necessary and sufficient condition is given for the Howson property to hold on an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents. In addition, it is shown that any monogenic inverse semigroup has the Howson property.

In this note it is shown that if S is a free inverse semigroup of rank at least two and if e, f are idempotents of S such that e > f then S can be embedded in the partial semigroup eSe/fSf. The proof makes use of Scheiblich's construction for free inverse semigroups [7, 8] and of Reilly's characterisation of a set of free generators in an inverse semigroup [4, 5].

AbstractIt is shown that no proper ideal of a free inverse semigroup is free and that every isomorphism between ideals is induced by a unique automorphism of the whole semigroup. In addition, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for two principal ideals to be isomorhic.

In his paper [1], W. D. Munn determines the irreducible matrix representations of an arbitrary inverse semigroup. Munn also gives a necessary and sufficient condition upon a 0-simple inverse semigroup for it to have a non-trivial matirx representation and for such semigroups gives a complete account of their representations. Munn's results rest upon the earlier work of Clifford [2] in which the representations of Brandt semigroups were determined. An alternative account of such representations was given by Munn in [3]. This earlier work is presented in Sections 5.2 and 5.4 of [4].

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition is determined for the modularity of the lattice of congruences on a bisimple inverse semigroup whose semilattice of idempotents is order-anti-isomorphic to the set of natural numbers.

AbstractA necessary and sufficient condition for a Poisson mixture with an exponential type mixing distribution to be equivalently represented as a Poisson sum is obtained. The problem of deriving a similar condition under any mixing distribution on (0, ∞) is discussed. Finally, a characterization of the gamma distribution is obtained.

Theorem: A necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition of two ordinary renewal processes to again be a renewal process is that they be Poisson processes.A complete proof of this theorem is given; also it is shown how the theorem follows from the corresponding one for the superposition of two stationary renewal processes.

We show that the HNBUE family of life distributions is closed under weak convergence and that weak convergence within this family is equivalent to convergence of each moment sequence of positive order to the corresponding moment of the limiting distribution. A necessary and sufficient condition for weak convergence to the exponential distribution is given, based on a new characterization of exponentials within the HNBUE family of life distributions.

AbstractThis paper extends results on product varieties of groups to inverse semigroups. We show that if is a variety of groups and any inverse semigroup variety, then ∘ is a variety. We give a characterization of the identities of∘in terms of the identities of and ofWe show that if does not contain the variety of all groups then it has uncountably many supervarieties. Finally we show that ifis another variety of groups then Subject classifiaction (Amer. Math. Soc. (MOS) 1970): 20 M 05.
