Cancellative semigroup

In mathematics, a cancellative semigroup (also called a cancellation semigroup) is a semigroup having the cancellation property. In intuitive terms, the cancellation property asserts that from an equality of the form a·b = a·c, where · is a binary operation, one can cancel the element a and deduce the equality b = c. In this case the element being cancelled out is appearing as the left factors of a·b and a·c and hence it is a case of the left cancellation property. The right cancellation property can be defined analogously. Prototypical examples of cancellative semigroups are the positive integers under addition or multiplication. Cancellative semigroups are considered to be very close to being groups because cancellability is one of the necessary conditions for a semigroup to be embeddable in a group. Moreover, every finite cancellative semigroup is a group. One of the main problems associated with the study of cancellative semigroups is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for embedding a cancellative semigroup in a group. The origins of the study of cancellative semigroups can be traced to the first substantial paper on semigroups,. (Wikipedia).

Inner & Outer Semidirect Products Derivation - Group Theory

Semidirect products are a very important tool for studying groups because they allow us to break a group into smaller components using normal subgroups and complements! Here we describe a derivation for the idea of semidirect products and an explanation of how the map into the automorphism

Walter van Suijlekom: Semigroup of inner perturbations in Non Commutative Geometry

Starting with an algebra, we define a semigroup which extends the group of invertible elements in that algebra. As we will explain, this semigroup describes inner perturbations of noncommutative manifolds, and has applications to gauge theories in physics. We will present some elementary e

Inner Semidirect Product Example: Dihedral Group

Semidirect products explanation: https://youtu.be/Pat5Qsmrdaw Semidirect products are very useful in group theory. To understand why, it's helpful to see an example. Here we show how to write the dihedral group D_2n as a semidirect product, and how we can describe that purely using cyclic

This lecture is part of an online course on categories. We define strict monoidal categories, and then show how to relax the definition by introducing coherence conditions to define (non-strict) monoidal categories. We finish by defining symmetric monoidal categories and showing how super
