Faithful linear and relational representations of diagram categories and monoids

James East, Marianne Johnson, Mark Kambites

We study representations of diagram categories by binary relations and matrices over rings and semirings. Our main result is a faithful involutive tensor representation of the part…

A groupoid approach to regular -semigroups

James East, P. A. Azeef Muhammed

In this paper we develop a new groupoid-based structure theory for the class of regular -semigroups. This class occupies something of a `sweet spot' between the important classe…

Product decompositions of semigroups induced by action pairs

Scott Carson, Igor Dolinka, James East +2

This paper concerns a class of semigroups that arise as products , associated to what we call `action pairs'. Here and are subsemigroups of a common monoid and, roughly…

Presentations for wreath products involving symmetric inverse monoids and categories

Chad Clark, James East

Wreath products involving symmetric inverse monoids/semigroups/categories arise in many areas of algebra and science, and presentations by generators and relations are crucial tool…

On the enumeration of integer tetrahedra

James East, Michael Hendriksen, Laurence Park

We consider the problem of enumerating integer tetrahedra of fixed perimeter (sum of side-lengths) and/or diameter (maximum side-length), up to congruence. As we will see, this pro…

Minimum degrees of finite rectangular bands, null semigroups, and variants of full transformation semigroups

Peter J Cameron, James East, Des FitzGerald +3

For a positive integer , the full transformation semigroup consists of all self maps of the set under composition. Any finite semigroup embeds in some…

Presentations for P^K

James East

It is a classical result that the direct product AxB of two groups is finitely generated (finitely presented) if and only if A and B are both finitely generated (finitely presented…

Generating wreath products of symmetric and alternating groups

James East, James D Mitchell

We show that the wreath product of two finite symmetric or alternating groups is 2-generated.

Presentations for Temperley-Lieb algebras

James East

We give a new and conceptually straightforward proof of the well-known presentation for the Temperley-Lieb algebra, via an alternative new presentation. Our method involves twisted…

Ehresmann theory and partition monoids

James East, Robert D. Gray

This article concerns Ehresmann structures in the partition monoid . Since contains the symmetric and dual symmetric inverse monoids on the same base set , it natural…

Properties of congruences of twisted partition monoids and their lattices

James East, Nik Ruskuc

We build on the recent characterisation of congruences on the infinite twisted partition monoids and their finite -twisted homomorphic images $\mathcal{P}_{n…

Classification of congruences of twisted partition monoids

James East, Nik Ruskuc

The twisted partition monoid is an infinite monoid obtained from the classical finite partition monoid by taking into account the number of floati…

Generating the monoid of matrices over max-plus and min-plus semirings

James East, Julius Jonušas, J. D. Mitchell

In this short note, we describe generating sets for the monoids of consisting of all matrices over certain finite tropical semirings.

Presentations for tensor categories

James East

We introduce new techniques for working with presentations for a large class of (strict) tensor categories. We then apply the general theory to obtain presentations for partition,…

Congruence lattices of ideals in categories and (partial) semigroups

James East, Nik Ruskuc

This paper presents a unified framework for determining the congruences on a number of monoids and categories of transformations, diagrams, matrices and braids, and on all their id…

Structure of principal one-sided ideals

James East

We give a thorough structural analysis of the principal one-sided ideals of arbitrary semigroups, and then apply this to full transformation semigroups and symmetric inverse monoid…

Sandwich semigroups in diagram categories

Ivana Đurđev, Igor Dolinka, James East

This paper concerns a number of diagram categories, namely the partition, planar partition, Brauer, partial Brauer, Motzkin and Temperley-Lieb categories. If denotes a…

Idempotents and one-sided units: Lattice invariants and a semigroup of functors on the category of monoids

James East

For a monoid , we denote by the group of units, the submonoid generated by the idempotents, and and the submonoid…

Green's relations and stability for subsemigroups

James East, Peter M. Higgins

We prove new results on inheritance of Green's relations by subsemigroups in the presence of stability of elements. We provide counterexamples in other cases to show in particular…
