Abstract Given an action ${\varphi }$ of inverse semigroup S on a ring A (with domain of ${\varphi }(s)$ denoted by $D_{s^*}$ ), we show that if the ideals $D_e$ , with e an idempotent, are unital, then the skew inverse semigroup ring $A\rtimes S$ can be realized as the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of (unital) rings. Conversely, we show that the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of rings is isomorphic to a skew inverse semigroup ring of this sort. We recover known results in the literature for Steinberg algebras over a field as special cases.

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}} .

A ring (R, *) with involution * is called formally complex if implies that all Ai are 0. Let (R, *) be a formally complex ring and let S be an inverse semigroup. Let (R[S], *) be the semigroup ring with involution * defined by . We show that (R[S], *) is a formally complex ring. Let (S, *) be a semigroup with proper involution *(aa* = ab* = bb* ⇒ a = b) and let (R, *′) be a formally complex ring. We give a sufficient condition for (R[S], *′) to be a formally complex ring and this condition is weaker than * being the inverse involution on S. We illustrate this by an example.

Sufficient conditions are obtained for a ring R, faithfully graded by a bisimple inverse semigroup S, to be (a) prime and (b) right primitive, these conditions being on the subring RG consisting of all elements of R with support contained in G, a maximal subgroup of S. Earlier results on semigroup rings arise as special cases.

Abstract In this paper, we study the strong nil-cleanness of certain classes of semigroup rings. For a completely 0-simple semigroup M={ {\mathcal M} }^{0}(G;I,\text{Λ};P) , we show that the contracted semigroup ring {R}_{0}{[}M] is strongly nil-clean if and only if either |I|=1 or |\text{Λ}|=1 , and R{[}G] is strongly nil-clean; as a corollary, we characterize the strong nil-cleanness of locally inverse semigroup rings. Moreover, let S={[}Y;{S}_{\alpha },{\varphi }_{\alpha ,\beta }] be a strong semilattice of semigroups, then we prove that R{[}S] is strongly nil-clean if and only if R{[}{S}_{\alpha }] is strongly nil-clean for each \alpha \in Y .

Throughout this paper the ring R and the semigroup S are commutative with identity; moreover, it is assumed that S is cancellative, i.e., that S can be embedded in a group. The aim of this note is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions on R and S that the semigroup ring R[S] should be one of the following types of rings: principal ideal ring (PIR), ZPI-ring, Bezout, semihereditary or arithmetical. These results shed some light on the structure of semigroup rings and provide a source of examples of the rings listed above. They also play a key role in the determination of all commutative reduced arithmetical semigroup rings (without the cancellative hypothesis on S) which will appear in a forthcoming paper by Leo Chouinard and the authors [4].

Abstract Given an adaptable separated graph, we construct an associated groupoid and explore its type semigroup. Specifically, we first attach to each adaptable separated graph a corresponding semigroup, which we prove is an $E^*$-unitary inverse semigroup. As a consequence, the tight groupoid of this semigroup is a Hausdorff étale groupoid. We show that this groupoid is always amenable and that the type semigroups of groupoids obtained from adaptable separated graphs in this way include all finitely generated conical refinement monoids. The first three named authors will utilize this construction in forthcoming work to solve the realization problem for von Neumann regular rings, in the finitely generated case.

Let N denote the set of non-negative integers. An affine semigroup is a finitely generated submonoid S of the additive monoid Nm for some positive integer m. Let k[S] denote the semigroup ring of S over a field k. Then one can identify k[S] with the subring of a polynomial ring k[t1, …, tm] generated by the monomials .

AbstractThe following questions are studied: When is a semigroup graded ring left Noetherian, respectively semiprime left Goldie? Necessary sufficient conditions are proved for cancellative semigroup-graded subrings of rings weakly or strongly graded by a polycyclic-by-finite (unique product) group. For semigroup rings R[S] we also give a solution to the problem in case S is an inverse semigroup.

This papar constructs all homomorphisms of inverse semigroups which factor through an E-unitary inverse semigroup; the construction is in terms of a semilattice component and a group component. It is shown that such homomorphisms have a unique factorisation βα with α preserving the maximal group image, β idempotent separating, and the domain I of β E-unitary; moreover, the P-representation of I is explicitly constructed. This theory, in particular, applies whenever the domain or codomain of a homomorphism is E-unitary. Stronger results are obtained for the case of F-inverse monoids.Special cases of our results include the P-theorem and the factorisation theorem for homomorphisms from E-unitary inverse semigroups (via idempotent pure followed by idempotent separating). We also deduce a criterion of McAlister–Reilly for the existence of E-unitary covers over a group, as well as a generalisation to F-inverse covers, allowing a quick proof that every inverse monoid has an F-inverse cover.
