The Efficiency of the Semi-Direct Products of Free Abelian Monoid with Rank n by the Infinite Cyclic Monoid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the efficiency of the semi-direct product of free abelian monoid with rank n by the infinite cyclic ...

Associative string functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We introduce the concept of associativity for string functions, where a string function is a unary operation on the set of strings over a given alphabet. We discuss this new property and describe certain classes of associative string functions.

M\"obius function of semigroup posets through Hilbert series

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper, we investigate the M{\"o}bius function $\mu\_{\mathcal{S}}$ associated to a (locally finite) poset arising from a semigroup $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^m$. We introduce and develop a new approach to study $\mu\_{\mathcal{S}}$ by using the

Affine semigroups having a unique Betti element

open access: yes, 2012
We characterize affine semigroups having one Betti element and we compute some relevant non-unique factorization invariants for these semigroups. As an example, we particularize our description to numerical semigroups.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure.

Two-sided homological properties of special and one-relator monoids

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
A monoid presentation is called special if the right-hand side of each defining relation is equal to 1. We prove results which relate the two-sided homological finiteness properties of a monoid defined by a special presentation with those of its group of

A conjugation-free geometric presentation of fundamental groups of arrangements II: Expansion and some properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A conjugation-free geometric presentation of a fundamental group is a presentation with the natural topological generators $x_1, ..., x_n$ and the cyclic relations: $x_{i_k}x_{i_{k-1}} ... x_{i_1} = x_{i_{k-1}} ... x_{i_1} x_{i_k} = ... = x_{i_1} x_{i_k}

Length Functions for Semigroup Embeddings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Following the work done by Olshanskii for groups, we describe, for a given semigroup $S$, which functions $l : S \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ can be realized up to equivalence as length functions $g \mapsto |g|_{H}$ by embedding $S$ into a finitely generated ...

Affine convex body semigroups

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we present a new kind of semigroups called convex body semigroups which are generated by convex bodies of R^k. They generalize to arbitrary dimension the concept of proportionally modular numerical semigroup of [7].

Uniquely presented finitely generated commutative monoids

open access: yes, 2009
A finitely generated commutative monoid is uniquely presented if it has only a minimal presentation. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for finitely generated, combinatorially finite, cancellative, commutative monoids to be uniquely presented ...

A Svarc-Milnor lemma for monoids acting by isometric embeddings

open access: yes, 2010
We continue our programme of extending key techniques from geometric group theory to semigroup theory, by studying monoids acting by isometric embeddings on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions.
