The study of biordered set plays a significant role in describing the structure of a regular semigroup and since the definition of regularity involves only the multiplication in the ring, it is natural that the study of semigroups plays a significant role in the study of regular rings. Here, we extend the biordered set approach to study the structure of the regular semigroup [Formula: see text] of a regular ring [Formula: see text] by studying the idempotents [Formula: see text] of the regular ring and show that the principal biorder ideals of the regular ring [Formula: see text] form a complemented modular lattice and certain properties of this lattice are studied.
Locally inverse semigroups are regular semigroups whose idempotents form pseudo-semilattices. In this article, we describe the structure of locally inverse semigroups using Nambooripad's cross-connection theory. We characterise the categories involved as 'unambiguous categories' and provide a new structure theorem for locally inverse semigroups. Further, recall that there are two major structure theorems involving special classes of locally inverse semigroups: inverse semigroups (ESN Theorem via inductive groupoids) and completely 0-simple semigroups (via Rees matrix construction); they seem unrelated. In this article, we specialise our cross-connection description of locally inverse semigroups to these classes to exposit a unification of these different approaches to the structure theory of semigroups. In particular, we show that the structure theorem in inverse semigroups can be obtained using only one category, quite analogous to the ESN Theorem; in a completely 0-simple semigroup, we show that the cross-connection coincides with the structure matrix.
Cohen and Taylor [On a certain Lie algebra defined by a finite group, Am. Math. Mon. 114 (2007) 633–639] introduced certain Lie algebras constructed using finite groups called the Plesken Lie algebras. In this paper, we describe the representation of these Plesken Lie algebras, their irreducibility and the Plesken Lie algebra modules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
