We discuss the structure of some inverse semigroups and the associated C* algebras. In particular, we study the bicyclic semigroup and the free monogenic inverse semigroup, following earlier work of Conway, Duncan and Paterson. We then associate to each zero-one matrix A an inverse semigroup CA, and show that the C*-algebra OA of Cuntz and Krieger is closely related to the semigroup algebra C*(CA).

Abstract We extend the Lebesgue decomposition of positive measures with respect to Lebesgue measure on the complex unit circle to the non-commutative (NC) multi-variable setting of (positive) NC measures. These are positive linear functionals on a certain self-adjoint subspace of the Cuntz–Toeplitz $C^{\ast }-$algebra, the $C^{\ast }-$algebra of the left creation operators on the full Fock space. This theory is fundamentally connected to the representation theory of the Cuntz and Cuntz–Toeplitz $C^{\ast }-$algebras; any *−representation of the Cuntz–Toeplitz $C^{\ast }-$algebra is obtained (up to unitary equivalence), by applying a Gelfand–Naimark–Segal construction to a positive NC measure. Our approach combines the theory of Lebesgue decomposition of sesquilinear forms in Hilbert space, Lebesgue decomposition of row isometries, free semigroup algebra theory, NC reproducing kernel Hilbert space theory, and NC Hardy space theory.

AbstractWe show that every free semigroup algebra has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak-∗ closed unital operator algebra containing a weak-∗ dense subalgebra of compact operators has a unique Banach space predual.

Let A be a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field K with a presentation A = K 〈X1,…, Xn | R〉, where R is a set of monomial relations in the generators X1,…, Xn. So A = K[S], the semigroup algebra of the monoid S = 〈X1,…, Xn | R〉. We characterize, purely in terms of the defining relations, when A is an integrally closed domain, provided R contains at most two relations. Also the class group of such algebras A is calculated.

An idempotent-connected abundant semigroup S is a locally ample semigroup if for any idempotent e of S, the local submonoid eSe of S is an ample subsemigroup of S. Clearly, an ample semigroup is a locally ample semigroup. In this paper, it is proved that the semigroup algebra of a finite locally ample semigroup is isomorphic to the semigroup algebra of an associate primitive abundant semigroup. As an application of this result, we characterize Jacobson radicals of finite locally ample semigroup algebras.

In this paper, we study Johnson pseudo-contractibility of second dual of some Banach algebras. We show that the semigroup algebra [Formula: see text] is Johnson pseudo-contractible if and only if [Formula: see text] is a finite amenable group, where [Formula: see text] is an archimedean semigroup. We also show that the matrix algebra [Formula: see text] is Johnson pseudo-contractible if and only if [Formula: see text] is finite. We study Johnson pseudo-contractibility of certain projective tensor product second duals Banach algebras.
