LOGIC and P-RECOGNIZABLE SETS of INTEGERS 1 Introduction
LOGIC AND p-RECOGNIZABLE SETS OF INTEGERS V´eronique Bruy`ere∗ Georges Hansel Christian Michaux∗† Roger Villemairez Abstract We survey the properties of sets of integers recognizable by automata when they are written in p-ary expansions. We focus on Cobham's theorem which characterizes the sets recognizable in different bases p and on its generaliza- tion to Nm due to Semenov. We detail the remarkable proof recently given by Muchnik for the theorem of Cobham-Semenov, the original proof being published in Russian. 1 Introduction This paper is a survey on the remarkable theorem of A. Cobham stating that the only sets of numbers recognizable by automata, independently of the base of repre- sentation, are those which are ultimately periodic. The proof given by Cobham, even if it is elementary, is rather difficult [15]. In his book [24], S. Eilenberg proposed as a challenge to find a more reasonable proof. Since this date, some researchers found more comprehensible proofs for subsets of N, and more generally of Nm.Themore recent works demonstrate the power of first-order logic in the study of recognizable sets of numbers [54, 49, 50]. One aim of this paper is to collect, from B¨uchi to Muchnik's works [9, 54], all the base-dependence properties of sets of numbers recognizable by finite automata, with some emphasis on logical arguments. It contains several examples and some logical proofs. In particular, the fascinating proof recently given by A. Muchnik is detailed ∗This work was partially supported by ESPRIT-BRA Working Group 6317 ASMICS and Co- operation Project C.G.R.I.-C.N.R.S. -

Class Semigroups of Prufer Domains
JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA 184, 613]631Ž. 1996 ARTICLE NO. 0279 Class Semigroups of PruferÈ Domains S. Bazzoni* Dipartimento di Matematica Pura e Applicata, Uni¨ersita di Pado¨a, ¨ia Belzoni 7, 35131 Padua, Italy Communicated by Leonard Lipshitz View metadata, citation and similar papers at Receivedcore.ac.uk July 3, 1995 brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector The class semigroup of a commutative integral domain R is the semigroup S Ž.R of the isomorphism classes of the nonzero ideals of R with the operation induced by multiplication. The aim of this paper is to characterize the PruferÈ domains R such that the semigroup S Ž.R is a Clifford semigroup, namely a disjoint union of groups each one associated to an idempotent of the semigroup. We find a connection between this problem and the following local invertibility property: an ideal I of R is invertible if and only if every localization of I at a maximal ideal of Ris invertible. We consider the Ž.a property, introduced in 1967 for PruferÈ domains R, stating that if D12and D are two distinct sets of maximal ideals of R, Ä 4Ä 4 then F RMM <gD1 /FRMM <gD2 . Let C be the class of PruferÈ domains satisfying the separation property Ž.a or with the property that each localization at a maximal ideal if finite-dimensional. We prove that, if R belongs to C, then the local invertibility property holds on R if and only if every nonzero element of R is contained only in a finite number of maximal ideals of R. -
Noncommutative Unique Factorization Domainso
NONCOMMUTATIVE UNIQUE FACTORIZATION DOMAINSO BY P. M. COHN 1. Introduction. By a (commutative) unique factorization domain (UFD) one usually understands an integral domain R (with a unit-element) satisfying the following three conditions (cf. e.g. Zariski-Samuel [16]): Al. Every element of R which is neither zero nor a unit is a product of primes. A2. Any two prime factorizations of a given element have the same number of factors. A3. The primes occurring in any factorization of a are completely deter- mined by a, except for their order and for multiplication by units. If R* denotes the semigroup of nonzero elements of R and U is the group of units, then the classes of associated elements form a semigroup R* / U, and A1-3 are equivalent to B. The semigroup R*jU is free commutative. One may generalize the notion of UFD to noncommutative rings by taking either A-l3 or B as starting point. It is obvious how to do this in case B, although the class of rings obtained is rather narrow and does not even include all the commutative UFD's. This is indicated briefly in §7, where examples are also given of noncommutative rings satisfying the definition. However, our principal aim is to give a definition of a noncommutative UFD which includes the commutative case. Here it is better to start from A1-3; in order to find the precise form which such a definition should take we consider the simplest case, that of noncommutative principal ideal domains. For these rings one obtains a unique factorization theorem simply by reinterpreting the Jordan- Holder theorem for right .R-modules on one generator (cf. -

In this work, we focus our attention to algorithmic solutions for problems where the instances are presented as straight-line programs on a given algebra. In our exposition, we try to survey general results by presenting some meaningful examples; moreover, where possible, we outline the proofs in order to give an insight of the methods and the techniques. We recall some recent results for the problem PosSLP, consisting of deciding if the integer defined by a straight-line program on the ring Z is greater than zero; we discuss some implications in the areas of numerical analysis and strategic games. -
Semigroup C*-Algebras and Amenability of Semigroups
SEMIGROUP C*-ALGEBRAS AND AMENABILITY OF SEMIGROUPS XIN LI Abstract. We construct reduced and full semigroup C*-algebras for left can- cellative semigroups. Our new construction covers particular cases already con- sidered by A. Nica and also Toeplitz algebras attached to rings of integers in number fields due to J. Cuntz. Moreover, we show how (left) amenability of semigroups can be expressed in terms of these semigroup C*-algebras in analogy to the group case. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Constructions 4 2.1.

Introduction The construction of group C*-algebras provides examples of C*-algebras which are both interesting and challenging to study. If we restrict our discussion to discrete groups, then we could say that the idea behind the construction is to implement the algebraic structure of a given group in a concrete or abstract C*-algebra in terms of unitaries. It then turns out that the group and its group C*-algebra(s) are closely related in various ways, for instance with respect to representation theory or in the context of amenability. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

As this book contains too much interesting material for a simple master thesis, we have narrowed our attention to chapters 1, 4 and 5. This thesis is divided into three main parts: Theory, Application and Appendix. Within the Theory chapter, we (as the name might suggest) develop the necessary theory to assist with finding irreducible representations of finite monoids. Finite monoids and their structure gives elementary definitions as regards to finite monoids, and expands on the basic theory of their structure. This part corresponds to chapter 1 in [3]. The theory of an idempotent develops just enough theory regarding idempotents to enable us to state a key result, from which the principal result later follows almost immediately. -
Right Product Quasigroups and Loops
RIGHT PRODUCT QUASIGROUPS AND LOOPS MICHAEL K. KINYON, ALEKSANDAR KRAPEZˇ∗, AND J. D. PHILLIPS Abstract. Right groups are direct products of right zero semigroups and groups and they play a significant role in the semilattice decomposition theory of semigroups. Right groups can be characterized as associative right quasigroups (magmas in which left translations are bijective). If we do not assume associativity we get right quasigroups which are not necessarily representable as direct products of right zero semigroups and quasigroups. To obtain such a representation, we need stronger assumptions which lead us to the notion of right product quasigroup. If the quasigroup component is a (one-sided) loop, then we have a right product (left, right) loop. We find a system of identities which axiomatizes right product quasigroups, and use this to find axiom systems for right product (left, right) loops; in fact, we can obtain each of the latter by adjoining just one appropriate axiom to the right product quasigroup axiom system. We derive other properties of right product quasigroups and loops, and conclude by show- ing that the axioms for right product quasigroups are independent. 1. Introduction In the semigroup literature (e.g., [1]), the most commonly used definition of right group is a semigroup (S; ·) which is right simple (i.e., has no proper right ideals) and left cancellative (i.e., xy = xz =) y = z). The structure of right groups is clarified by the following well-known representation theorem (see [1]): Theorem 1.1. A semigroup (S; ·) is a right group if and only if it is isomorphic to a direct product of a group and a right zero semigroup. -
Algebras of Boolean Inverse Monoids – Traces and Invariant Means
C*-algebras of Boolean inverse monoids { traces and invariant means Charles Starling∗ Abstract ∗ To a Boolean inverse monoid S we associate a universal C*-algebra CB(S) and show that it is equal to Exel's tight C*-algebra of S. We then show that any invariant mean on S (in the sense of Kudryavtseva, Lawson, Lenz and Resende) gives rise to a ∗ trace on CB(S), and vice-versa, under a condition on S equivalent to the underlying ∗ groupoid being Hausdorff. Under certain mild conditions, the space of traces of CB(S) is shown to be isomorphic to the space of invariant means of S. We then use many known results about traces of C*-algebras to draw conclusions about invariant means on Boolean inverse monoids; in particular we quote a result of Blackadar to show that any metrizable Choquet simplex arises as the space of invariant means for some AF inverse monoid S. 1 Introduction This article is the continuation of our study of the relationship between inverse semigroups and C*-algebras. An inverse semigroup is a semigroup S for which every element s 2 S has a unique \inverse" s∗ in the sense that ss∗s = s and s∗ss∗ = s∗: An important subsemigroup of any inverse semigroup is its set of idempotents E(S) = fe 2 S j e2 = eg = fs∗s j s 2 Sg. Any set of partial isometries closed under product and arXiv:1605.05189v3 [math.OA] 19 Jul 2016 involution inside a C*-algebra is an inverse semigroup, and its set of idempotents forms a commuting set of projections. -
Binary Opera- Tions, Magmas, Monoids, Groups, Rings, fields and Their Homomorphisms
1. Introduction In this chapter, I introduce some of the fundamental objects of algbera: binary opera- tions, magmas, monoids, groups, rings, fields and their homomorphisms. 2. Binary Operations Definition 2.1. Let M be a set. A binary operation on M is a function · : M × M ! M often written (x; y) 7! x · y. A pair (M; ·) consisting of a set M and a binary operation · on M is called a magma. Example 2.2. Let M = Z and let + : Z × Z ! Z be the function (x; y) 7! x + y. Then, + is a binary operation and, consequently, (Z; +) is a magma. Example 2.3. Let n be an integer and set Z≥n := fx 2 Z j x ≥ ng. Now suppose n ≥ 0. Then, for x; y 2 Z≥n, x + y 2 Z≥n. Consequently, Z≥n with the operation (x; y) 7! x + y is a magma. In particular, Z+ is a magma under addition. Example 2.4. Let S = f0; 1g. There are 16 = 42 possible binary operations m : S ×S ! S . Therefore, there are 16 possible magmas of the form (S; m). Example 2.5. Let n be a non-negative integer and let · : Z≥n × Z≥n ! Z≥n be the operation (x; y) 7! xy. Then Z≥n is a magma. Similarly, the pair (Z; ·) is a magma (where · : Z×Z ! Z is given by (x; y) 7! xy). Example 2.6. Let M2(R) denote the set of 2 × 2 matrices with real entries. If ! ! a a b b A = 11 12 , and B = 11 12 a21 a22 b21 b22 are two matrices, define ! a b + a b a b + a b A ◦ B = 11 11 12 21 11 12 12 22 : a21b11 + a22b21 a21b12 + a22b22 Then (M2(R); ◦) is a magma. -
Ring (Mathematics) 1 Ring (Mathematics)
Ring (mathematics) 1 Ring (mathematics) In mathematics, a ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with two binary operations usually called addition and multiplication, where the set is an abelian group under addition (called the additive group of the ring) and a monoid under multiplication such that multiplication distributes over addition.a[›] In other words the ring axioms require that addition is commutative, addition and multiplication are associative, multiplication distributes over addition, each element in the set has an additive inverse, and there exists an additive identity. One of the most common examples of a ring is the set of integers endowed with its natural operations of addition and multiplication. Certain variations of the definition of a ring are sometimes employed, and these are outlined later in the article. Polynomials, represented here by curves, form a ring under addition The branch of mathematics that studies rings is known and multiplication. as ring theory. Ring theorists study properties common to both familiar mathematical structures such as integers and polynomials, and to the many less well-known mathematical structures that also satisfy the axioms of ring theory. The ubiquity of rings makes them a central organizing principle of contemporary mathematics.[1] Ring theory may be used to understand fundamental physical laws, such as those underlying special relativity and symmetry phenomena in molecular chemistry. The concept of a ring first arose from attempts to prove Fermat's last theorem, starting with Richard Dedekind in the 1880s. After contributions from other fields, mainly number theory, the ring notion was generalized and firmly established during the 1920s by Emmy Noether and Wolfgang Krull.[2] Modern ring theory—a very active mathematical discipline—studies rings in their own right.
