In this paper we study the semigroup ℐ ∞↗ (ℕ) of partial cofinal monotone bijective transformations of the set of positive integers ℕ. We show that the semigroup ℐ ∞↗ (ℕ) has algebraic properties similar to the bicyclic semigroup: it is bisimple and all of its non-trivial group homomorphisms are either isomorphisms or group homomorphisms. We also prove that every locally compact topology τ on ℐ ∞↗ (ℕ) such that (ℐ ∞↗ (ℕ); τ) is a topological inverse semigroup, is discrete. Finally, we describe the closure of (ℐ ∞↗ (ℕ); τ) in a topological semigroup.

The natural order of an inverse semigroup defined by a ≤ b ⇔ a′b = a′a has turned out to be of great importance in describing the structure of it. In this paper an order-theoretical point of view is adopted to characterise inverse semigroups. A complete description is given according to the type of partial order an arbitrary inverse semigroup S can possibly admit: a least element of (S, ≤) is shown to be the zero of (S, ·); the existence of a greatest element is equivalent to the fact, that (S, ·) is a semilattice; (S, ≤) is directed downwards, if and only if S admits only the trivial group-homomorphic image; (S, ≤) is totally ordered, if and only if for all a, b ∈ S, either ab = ba = a or ab = ba = b; a finite inverse semigroup is a lattice, if and only if it admits a greatest element. Finally formulas concerning the inverse of a supremum or an infimum, if it exists, are derived, and right-distributivity and left-distributivity of multiplication with respect to union and intersection are shown to be equivalent.

All topological spaces here are assumed to be T2. The collection F(Y)of all homeomorphisms whose domains and ranges are closed subsets of a topological space Y is an inverse semigroup under the operation of composition. We are interested in the general problem of getting some information about the subsemigroups of F(Y) whenever Y is a compact metric space. Here, we specifically look at the problem of determining those spaces X with the property that F(X) is isomorphic to a subsemigroup of F(Y). The main result states that if X is any first countable space with an uncountable number of points, then the semigroup F(X) can be embedded into the semigroup F(Y) if and only if either X is compact and Y contains a copy of X, or X is noncompact and locally compact and Y contains a copy of the one-point compactification of X.

Abstract Given a partial action π of an inverse semigroup S on a ring {\mathcal{A}} , one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} . Our main result asserts that, when {\mathcal{A}} is commutative, the ring {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} is simple if, and only if, {\mathcal{A}} is a maximal commutative subring of {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} and {\mathcal{A}} is S-simple. We apply this result in the context of topological inverse semigroup actions to connect simplicity of the associated skew inverse semigroup ring with topological properties of the action. Furthermore, we use our result to present a new proof of the simplicity criterion for a Steinberg algebra {A_{R}(\mathcal{G})} associated with a Hausdorff and ample groupoid {\mathcal{G}} .

The countability index, C(S), of a semigroup S is the smallest integer n, if it exists, such that every countable subset of S is contained in a subsemigroup with n generators. If no such integer exists, define C(S) = ∞. The density index, D(S), of a topological semigroup S is the smallest integer n, if it exists, such that S contains a dense subsemigroup with n generators. If no such integer exists, define D(S) = ∞. S(X) is the topological semigroup of all continuous selfmaps of the locally compact Hausdorff space X where S(X) is given the compact-open topology. Various results are obtained about C(S(X)) and D(S(X)). For example, if X consists of a finite number (< 1) of components, each of which is a compact N-dimensional subspace of Euclidean Nspace and has the internal extension property and X is not the two point discrete space. Then C(S(X)) exceeds two but is finite. There are additional results for C(S(X)) and similar results for D(S(X)).

For a matched pair of locally compact quantum groups, we construct the double crossed product as a locally compact quantum group. This construction generalizes Drinfeld’s quantum double construction. We study the modular theory and the $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebraic properties of these double crossed products, as well as several links between double crossed products and bicrossed products. In an appendix, we study the Radon–Nikodym derivative of a weight under a quantum group action (following Yamanouchi) and obtain, as a corollary, a new characterization of closed quantum subgroups.

Let A be a commutative, semi-simple, convolution measure algebra in the sense of Taylor (6), and let S denote its structure semigroup. In (2) we initiated a study of some of the relationships between the topological structure of A^ (the spectrum of A), the algebraic properties of S, and the way that A lies in M(S). In particular, we asked when it is true that A is invariant in M(S) or an ideal of M(S) and also whether it is possible to characterise those measures on S which are elements of A. It appeared from (2) that if A is invariant in M(S) then S must be a union of groups and that A^ must be a space which is in some sense “ very disconnected ”. In (3) we showed that if A^ is discrete then A is “ approximately ” an ideal of M(S). (What is meant by “ approximately ” is explained in (3); it is the best one can expect since algebras which are approximately equal have identical structure semigroups and spectra.) In this paper we round off some of the results of (2) and (3). We show that if A is invariant in M(S) then A^ is totally disconnected, and that if A^ is totally disconnected then S is an inverse semigroup (union of groups). From these two crucial facts it is fairly straight-forward to obtain a complete characterisation of algebras A (and their structure semigroups) for which (i) A^ is totally disconnected, (ii) A is invariant in M(S), or (iii) A is an ideal of M(S).

Let S be a (jointly continuous) topological semigroup, C(S) the set of all bounded complex-valued continuous functions on S and M (S) the set of all bounded complex-valued Radon measures on S. Let (S) (or (S)) be the set of all µ ∈ M (S) such that x → │µ│ (x-1C) (or x → │µ│(Cx-1), respectively) is a continuous mapping of S into ℝ, for every compact set C ⊆ S, and . (Here │µ│ denotes the measure arising from the total variation of µ and the sets x-1C and Cx-1 are as defined in Section 2.) When S is locally compact the set Ma(S) was studied by A. C. and J. W. Baker in (1) and (2), by Sleijpen in (14), (15) and (16) and by us in (3). In this paper we show that some of the results of (1), (2), (14) and (15) remain valid for certain non-locally compact S and raise some new problems for such S.

We study (countably) compact and (absolutely) -closed primitive topological inverse semigroups. We describe the structure of compact and countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroups and show that any countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroup embeds into a compact primitive topological inverse semigroup.

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).

We show that integrals involving the log-tangent function, with respect to any square-integrable function on (0,π/2), can be evaluated by the harmonic series. Consequently, several formulas and algebraic properties of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers are discussed. Furthermore, we show among other things, that the log-tangent integral with respect to the Hurwitz zeta function defines a meromorphic function and its values depend on the Dirichlet series ζh(s) :=∑n≥1hnn−s−8, where hn=∑nk=1(2k−1)−1.
