Automatic Continuity of Homomorphisms Between Topological Inverse Semigroups Received April 26, 2017; Accepted August 27, 2017 Topol. Algebra Appl. 2018; 6:60–66 Research Article Iryna Pastukhova* Automatic continuity of homomorphisms between topological inverse semigroups https://doi.org/10.1515/taa-2018-0004 Received April 26, 2017; accepted August 27, 2017 Abstract: We nd conditions on topological inverse semigroups X, Y guaranteeing the continuity of any homomorphism h : X ! Y having continuous restrictions to any subsemilattice and any subgroup of X. Keywords: topological inverse semigroup MSC: 22A15, 22A26, 54C08, 54E52 1 Introduction This paper was motivated by the following old result of Yeager [10] who generalized an earlier result of Bowman [4]. Theorem 1.1 (Yeager). A homomorphism h : X ! Y between compact topological inverse Cliord semigroups is continuous if and only if for any subgroup H ⊂ X and any subsemilattice E ⊂ X the restrictions hjH and hjE are continuous. Let us dene a homomorphism h : X ! Y between topological semigroups to be EH-continuous if – the restriction hjEX to the set of idempotents of X is continuous; – for every subgroup H ⊂ X the restriction hjH is continuous. In terms of EH-continuity, Theorem 1.1 says that each EH-continuous homomorphism h : X ! Y between compact topological inverse Cliord semigroups is continuous. For compact topological inverse Cliord semigroup X with Lawson maximal semilattice EX = fx 2 X : xx = xg this result of Yeager was proved by Bowman [4] in 1971. In [3], the Bowman’s result was generalized to non-compact case. Namely, the authors proved the continuity of any EH-continuous homomorphism h : X ! Y from a topological inverse Cliord U-semigroup X to a ditopological inverse semigroup Y. Another result of [3] states that each EH-continuous homomorphism h : X ! Y from a topological inverse U0-semigroup X to a ditopological inverse semigroup Y is continuous. A topological inverse semigroup X is an U-semigroup (resp. U0-semigroup) if its maximal semilattice E(X) is a U-semilattice (resp. a U0-semilattice). Ditopological inverse semigroups were introduced and studied in [1]. In this paper we shall introduce weakly ditopological inverse semigroups and prove the * continuity of any EH-continuous homomorphism h : X ! Y from a topological inverse U0-semigroup X to * a weakly ditopological inverse semigroup Y. Topological inverse U0-semigroups are introduced in Section 2 and weakly ditopological inverse semigroups are introduced in Section 3. In Example 3.4 we shall construct a weakly ditopological inverse semigroup, which is not ditopological. The main result (Theorem 4.1 on the continuity of EH-continuous homomorphisms) is proved in Section 4. In Section 5 we apply Theorem 4.1 to establish the continuity of Souslin-measurable homomorphisms between topological inverse semigroups. *Corresponding Author: Iryna Pastukhova: Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Universytetska 1, 79000, Lviv, Ukraine, E-mail: [email protected] Open Access. © 2018 Iryna Pastukhova, published by De Gruyter.

Automatic continuity of homomorphisms between topological inverse semigroups Ë 61 2 Preliminaries 1.1. Semigroups. A semigroup is a non-empty set endowed with an associative binary operation. A semigroup S is called – inverse if for every x 2 S there is a unique element x−1 2 S such that x = xx−1x and x−1 = x−1xx−1; – Cliord inverse if it is inverse and xx−1 = x−1x for every x 2 S; – a semilattice if it is commutative and every element x 2 S is an idempotent, that is xx = x. Each semilattice E carries the natural partial order ≤ dened by x ≤ y i xy = yx = x. For a point x 2 E let #x = fy 2 E : y ≤ xg and "x = fy 2 E : x ≤ yg be the lower and upper cones of x, respectively. For a semigroup S by E(S) = fe 2 S : ee = eg we denote the set of idempotents of S and for each idempotent e 2 E(S) let He = fx 2 S : 9y 2 S xy = e = yx, xe = x = ex, ye = y = eyg be the maximal subgroup of S containing e. If the semigroup S is inverse, then the maximal group He can be −1 −1 written as He = fx 2 S : xx = e = x xg. Two elements x, y of an inverse semigroup S are called conjugated if there exists an element s 2 S such that x = sys−1 and y = s−1xs. For an element x 2 S let S x = fy 2 S : 9s 2 S y = sxs−1, x = s−1ysg be the conjugacy class of x in S. If x is an idempotent, then xS ⊂ E(S). Observe that for any element s 2 S the idempotents ss−1 and s−1s are conjugated as s−1(ss−1)s = s−1s and s(s−1s)s−1 = ss−1. A homomorphism between semigroups X, Y is a function h : X ! Y preserving the operation in the sense that h(x·y) = h(x)·h(y) for all x, y 2 X. The uniqueness of the inverse element in an inverse semigroup implies that each homomorphism h : X ! Y between inverse semigroups preserves the inversion in the sense that h(x−1) = h(x)−1 for all x 2 X. More information on inverse semigroups can be found in [8]. A topological semigroup is a semigroup S endowed with a topology making the semigroup operation · : S × S ! S continuous. A topological inverse semigroup is an inverse semigroup S endowed with a topology making the multiplication · : S × S ! S and the inversion ()−1 : S ! S continuous. A topological semilattice E is Lawson if open subsemilattices form a base of the topology of E. For an element e of a topological semilattice E by *e we denote the interior of the upper cone "e in E. An element e 2 E of a topological semilattice E is called locally minimal if its upper cone "e is open in E. In this case *e = "e. More generally, we shall say that an idempotent e 2 E is locally minimal in a subset A ⊂ E containing e if e has a neighborhood Ve ⊂ E such that Ve \ A ⊂ "e. A topological semilattice E is called a – a U-semilattice if for each point x 2 E and its neighborhood U ⊂ E there exists an idempotent e 2 U such that x 2 *e; – a U0-semilattice if for each point x 2 E and its neighborhood U ⊂ E there exists a locally minimal idempotent e 2 U such that x 2 "e. It is clear that each U0-semilattice is a U-semilattice. By [5, 2.12], each locally compact Lawson semilattice is a U-semilattice and each compact U-semilattice is Lawson. On the other hand, each locally compact zero- dimensional topological semilattice is a U0-semilattice, see [5, 2.6]. A topological inverse semigroup S is called a – a U-semigroup if its maximal semilattice E(S) is a U-semilattice; – a U0-semigroup if its maximal semilattice E(S) is a U0-semilattice; * – a U0-semigroup if for any idempotent x 2 E(S) and any neighborhood U ⊂ E(S) of x there exists an idempotent e 2 E(S) such that x 2 *e and e is locally minimal in its conjugacy class eS = ff 2 E(S): −1 −1 S 9s 2 S f = ses , e = s fsg in the sense that for some neighborhood Ve ⊂ E(S) of e we get Ve \ e ⊂ "e. 62 Ë Iryna Pastukhova It is clear that for each topological inverse semigroup S we get the implications * U0-semigroup ) U0-semigroup ) U-semigroup. * A topological inverse Cliord semigroup S is a U0-semigroup if and only if it is a U-semigroup. This follows from the observation that for any idempotent e 2 E(S) the conjugacy class eS of e is the singleton feg (as e commutes with all elements of the inverse Cliord semigroup S). 3 (Weakly) ditopological inverse semigroups For two subsets A, B of a semigroup S consider the subsets B[−1]A = fy 2 S : 9b 2 B 9a 2 A by = ag and AB[−1] = fx 2 S : 9a 2 A 9b 2 B a = xbg which can be thought as the results of left and right division of A by B in the semigroup S. For an inverse semigroup S consider the unary operations −1 −1 λS : S ! E(S), λ : x 7! xx , and ρS : S ! E(S), ρ : x 7! x x, and observe that λS(x) · x = x = x · ρS(x) for all x 2 S. The equality −1 [−1] −1 −1 −1 [−1] −1 −1 (fxx g fxg) \ λS (xx ) = fxg = (fxgfx xg ) \ ρS (x x) motivates the following denition, which was rst introduced in [1]. Denition 3.1. A topological inverse semigroup S is called ditopological if it satises one of the following equivalent conditions: – for any point x 2 S and neighborhood Ox ⊂ S of x there exist a neighborhood Ux ⊂ S of x and a −1 neighborhood Wxx−1 ⊂ E(S) of the idempotent λS(x) = xx such that [−1] \ −1 ⊂ (Wxx−1 Ux) λS (Wxx−1 ) Ox; – for any point x 2 S and neighborhood Ox ⊂ S of x there exist a neighborhood Ux ⊂ S of x and a −1 neighborhood Wx−1 x ⊂ E(S) of the idempotent ρS(x) = x x such that [−1] \ −1 ⊂ (Ux Wx−1 x) ρS (Wx−1 x) Ox . Ditopological inverse semigroups were introduced in [1] and studied in [1], [2], [3]. By [1], the class of ditopo- logical inverse semigroups contains all compact topological inverse semigroups, all topological groups, all topological semilattices, and is closed under taking Cliord subsemigroups, Tychono products, reduced products and semidirect products.

  • The Universal Property of Inverse Semigroup Equivariant KK-Theory
    KYUNGPOOK Math. J. 61(2021), 111-137 https://doi.org/10.5666/KMJ.2021.61.1.111 pISSN 1225-6951 eISSN 0454-8124 c Kyungpook Mathematical Journal The Universal Property of Inverse Semigroup Equivariant KK-theory Bernhard Burgstaller Departamento de Matematica, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, CEP 88.040-900 Florian´opolis-SC, Brasil e-mail : [email protected] Abstract. Higson proved that every homotopy invariant, stable and split exact func- tor from the category of C∗-algebras to an additive category factors through Kasparov's KK-theory. By adapting a group equivariant generalization of this result by Thomsen, we generalize Higson's result to the inverse semigroup and locally compact, not necessarily Hausdorff groupoid equivariant setting. 1. Introduction In [3], Cuntz noted that if F is a homotopy invariant, stable and split exact func- tor from the category of separable C∗-algebras to the category of abelian groups then Kasparov's KK-theory acts on F , that is, every element of KK(A; B) induces a natural map F (A) ! F (B). Higson [4], on the other hand, developed Cuntz' find- ings further and proved that every such functor F factorizes through the category K consisting of separable C∗-algebras as the object class and KK-theory together with the Kasparov product as the morphism class, that is, F is the composition F^ ◦ κ of a universal functor κ from the class of C∗-algebras to K and a functor F^ from K to abelian groups. In [12], Thomsen generalized Higson's findings to the group equivariant setting by replacing everywhere in the above statement algebras by equivariant algebras, ∗- homomorphisms by equivariant ∗-homomorphisms and KK-theory by equivariant KK-theory (the proof is however far from such a straightforward replacement).

  • An Introduction to Inverse Semigroups and Their Connections to C*-Algebras
    CARLETON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS HONOURS PROJECT TITLE: An Introduction to Inverse Semigroups and Their Connections To C*-Algebras AUTHOR: Kyle Cheaney SUPERVISOR: Dr. Charles Starling DATE: August 24, 2020 AN INTRODUCTION TO INVERSE SEMIGROUPS AND THEIR CONNECTIONS TO C∗-ALGEBRAS KYLE CHEANEY: 101012022 Abstract. This paper sets out to provide the reader with a basic introduction to inverse semigroups, as well as a proof of the Wagner-Preston Representation Theorem. It then focuses on finite directed graphs, specifically the graph inverse semigroup and how properties of the semigroup correspond to properties of C∗ algebras associated to such graphs. 1. Introduction The study of inverse semigroups was founded in the 1950's by three mathematicians: Ehresmann, Preston, and Wagner, as a way to algebraically describe pseudogroups of trans- formations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the topic of inverse semigroups and some of the basic properties and theorems. We use these basics to relate the inverse semi- group formed by a directed graph to the corresponding graph C∗ algebra. The study of such C∗ algebras is still an active topic of research in analysis, thus providing a connection between abstract algebraic objects and complex analysis. In section 2, we outline some preliminary definitions and results which will be our basic tools for working with inverse semigroups. Section 3 provides a more detailed introduction to inverse semigroups and contains a proof of the Wagner-Preston representation theorem, a cornerstone in the study of inverse semigroups. In section 4, we present some detailed examples of inverse semigroups, including proving said sets are in fact inverse semigroups and discussing what their idempotents look like.

  • SOME ALGEBRAIC DEFINITIONS and CONSTRUCTIONS Definition
    SOME ALGEBRAIC DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTIONS Definition 1. A monoid is a set M with an element e and an associative multipli- cation M M M for which e is a two-sided identity element: em = m = me for all m M×. A−→group is a monoid in which each element m has an inverse element m−1, so∈ that mm−1 = e = m−1m. A homomorphism f : M N of monoids is a function f such that f(mn) = −→ f(m)f(n) and f(eM )= eN . A “homomorphism” of any kind of algebraic structure is a function that preserves all of the structure that goes into the definition. When M is commutative, mn = nm for all m,n M, we often write the product as +, the identity element as 0, and the inverse of∈m as m. As a convention, it is convenient to say that a commutative monoid is “Abelian”− when we choose to think of its product as “addition”, but to use the word “commutative” when we choose to think of its product as “multiplication”; in the latter case, we write the identity element as 1. Definition 2. The Grothendieck construction on an Abelian monoid is an Abelian group G(M) together with a homomorphism of Abelian monoids i : M G(M) such that, for any Abelian group A and homomorphism of Abelian monoids−→ f : M A, there exists a unique homomorphism of Abelian groups f˜ : G(M) A −→ −→ such that f˜ i = f. ◦ We construct G(M) explicitly by taking equivalence classes of ordered pairs (m,n) of elements of M, thought of as “m n”, under the equivalence relation generated by (m,n) (m′,n′) if m + n′ = −n + m′.

  • Semigroups and Monoids 
    S Luis Alonso-Ovalle // Contents Subgroups Semigroups and monoids Subgroups Groups. A group G is an algebra consisting of a set G and a single binary operation ◦ satisfying the following axioms: . ◦ is completely defined and G is closed under ◦. ◦ is associative. G contains an identity element. Each element in G has an inverse element. Subgroups. We define a subgroup G0 as a subalgebra of G which is itself a group. Examples: . The group of even integers with addition is a proper subgroup of the group of all integers with addition. The group of all rotations of the square h{I, R, R0, R00}, ◦i, where ◦ is the composition of the operations is a subgroup of the group of all symmetries of the square. Some non-subgroups: SEMIGROUPS AND MONOIDS . The system h{I, R, R0}, ◦i is not a subgroup (and not even a subalgebra) of the original group. Why? (Hint: ◦ closure). The set of all non-negative integers with addition is a subalgebra of the group of all integers with addition, because the non-negative integers are closed under addition. But it is not a subgroup because it is not itself a group: it is associative and has a zero, but . does any member (except for ) have an inverse? Order. The order of any group G is the number of members in the set G. The order of any subgroup exactly divides the order of the parental group. E.g.: only subgroups of order , , and are possible for a -member group. (The theorem does not guarantee that every subset having the proper number of members will give rise to a subgroup.

  • 5 Definition and Examples of Groups
    Arkansas Tech University MATH 4033: Elementary Modern Algebra Dr. Marcel B. Finan 5 Definition and Examples of Groups In Section 3, properties of binary operations were emphasized-closure, iden- tity, inverses, associativity. Now these properties will be studied from a slightly different viewpoint by considering systems (S, ∗) that satisfy all four of the properties. Such mathematical systems are called groups. A group may be defined as follows. Definition 5.1 A set G is a group with respect to a binary operation ∗ if the following properties are satisfied: (i) (x ∗ y) ∗ z = x ∗ (y ∗ z) for all elements x, y, and z of G (the Asso- ciative Law); (ii) there exists an element e of G (the identity element of G) such that e ∗ x = x = x ∗ e, for all elements x of G; (iii) for each element x of G there exists an element x0 of G (the inverse of x) such that x ∗ x0 = e = x0 ∗ x (where e is the identity element of G). A group G is Abelian (or commutative) if x ∗ y = y ∗ x for all elements x and y of G. Remark 5.1 The phrase ”with respect” should be noted. For example, the set Z is a group with respect to addition but not with respect to multiplication (it has no inverses for elements other than ±1.) Example 5.1 We can obtain some simple examples of groups by considering appropriate subsets of the familiar number systems. (a) The set of even integers is an Abelian group with respect to addition. 1 (b) The set N of positive integers is not a group with respect to addition since it has no identity element.

INTRODUCTION Generalized group is an algebraic structure which has a deep physical background in the unified gauge theory and has direct relation with isotopies. 1.1. THE IDEA OF UNIFIED THEORY The unified theory has a direct relation with the geometry of space. It describes particles and their interactions in a quantum mechanical manner and the geometry of the space time through which they are moving. For instance, the result of experiment at very high energies in accelerators such as the Large Electron Position Collider [LEP] at CERN (the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research) in general has led to the discovery of a wealth of so called ’elementary’ particles and that this variety of particles interact with each other via the weak electromagnetic and strong forces(the weak and electromagnetic having been unified). A simple application of Heisenberg’s on certainty principle-the embodiment of quantum mechanics-at credibly small distances leads to the conclusion that at distance scale of around 10−35 metres(the plank length) there are huge fluctuation of energy that sufficiently big to create tiny black holes. Space is not empty but full of these tiny black holes fluctuations that come and go on time scale of around 10−35 seconds(the plank time). The vacuum is full of space-time foam. Currently, the most promising is super-string theory in which the so called ’elementary’ particles are described as vibration of tiny(planck-length)closed loops of strings.

  • The Classical Matrix Groups 1 Groups
    The Classical Matrix Groups CDs 270, Spring 2010/2011 The notes provide a brief review of matrix groups. The primary goal is to motivate the lan- guage and symbols used to represent rotations (SO(2) and SO(3)) and spatial displacements (SE(2) and SE(3)). 1 Groups A group, G, is a mathematical structure with the following characteristics and properties: i. the group consists of a set of elements {gj} which can be indexed. The indices j may form a finite, countably infinite, or continous (uncountably infinite) set. ii. An associative binary group operation, denoted by 0 ∗0 , termed the group product. The product of two group elements is also a group element: ∀ gi, gj ∈ G gi ∗ gj = gk, where gk ∈ G. iii. A unique group identify element, e, with the property that: e ∗ gj = gj for all gj ∈ G. −1 iv. For every gj ∈ G, there must exist an inverse element, gj , such that −1 gj ∗ gj = e. Simple examples of groups include the integers, Z, with addition as the group operation, and the real numbers mod zero, R − {0}, with multiplication as the group operation. 1.1 The General Linear Group, GL(N) The set of all N × N invertible matrices with the group operation of matrix multiplication forms the General Linear Group of dimension N. This group is denoted by the symbol GL(N), or GL(N, K) where K is a field, such as R, C, etc. Generally, we will only consider the cases where K = R or K = C, which are respectively denoted by GL(N, R) and GL(N, C).

  • Oriented Steiner Quasigroups
    Oriented Steiner quasigroups Izabella Stuhl Abstract We introduce the notion of an oriented Steiner quasigroup and de- velop elements of a relevant algebraic apparatus. The approach is based upon (modified) Schreier-type f-extensions for quasigroups (cf. earlier works [14, 11, 10]) achieved through oriented Steiner triple sys- tems. This is done in a fashion similar to in [13] where an analogous construction was established for loops. As a justification of this con- cept briefly discuss an application of oriented Steiner triple systems in cryptography using oriented Steiner quasigroups. 1 Introduction A Steiner triple system S is an incidence structure consisting of points and blocks such that every two distinct points are contained in precisely one block and any block has precisely three points. A finite Steiner triple system with n points exists if and only if n ≡ 1 or 3 (mod 6). A possible way to enrich Steiner triple systems is to introduce in each block a cyclic order. These objects occur in the literature as oriented Steiner triple systems (S, T ) (see [16]) or as Mendelsohn triple systems (see [8] Section 28, p. 388). Steiner triple systems play an important role in applications, particulary in cryptography, coding theory, statistics and computer science. Cf. [3], [6] (where a number of chapters are dedicated to this concept), and also [5] and the references therein. A particular example of an application is given in [15]. The results of the present paper develop an algebraic background that arXiv:1402.4644v2 [math.GR] 22 Apr 2014 can be useful, e.g., in the context of [2].

  • Two-Sided Expansions of Monoids 4.1
    TWO-SIDED EXPANSIONS OF MONOIDS GANNA KUDRYAVTSEVA Abstract. We initiate the study of expansions of monoids in the class of two-sided restriction monoids and show that generalizations of the Birget-Rhodes prefix group ex- pansion, despite the absence of involution, have rich structure close to that of relatively free inverse monoids. For a monoid M and a class of partial actions of M, determined by a set, R, of identities, we define FRR(M) to be the universal M-generated two-sided restriction monoid with respect to partial actions of M determined by R. This is an F -restriction monoid which (for a certain R) generalizes the Birget-Rhodes prefix expansion GR of a group G. Our main result provides a coordinatization of FR (M) via a partial action product of the R e idempotent semilattice E(FIR(M)) of a similarly defined inverse monoid, partially acted upon by M. The result by Fountain, Gomes and Gould on the structure of the free two-sided restriction monoid is recovered as a special case of our result. We show that some properties of FRR(M) agree well with suitable properties of M, such as being cancellative or embeddable into a group. We observe that if M is an inverse monoid, then FIRs (M), the free inverse monoid with respect to strong premorphisms, is isomorphic to the Lawson-Margolis-Steinberg generalized prefix expansion M pr. This pr gives a presentation of M and leads to a model for FRRs (M) in terms of the known model for M pr. 1. Introduction The Birget-Rhodes prefix expansion of a group [3] and, in particular, its model proposed by Szendrei [33], is a construction that assigns to an arbitrary group G an E-unitary inverse monoid, GR, which has a number of interesting properties and important applications.
