TLDR
In this article, it was shown that if the semi-lattice of an inverse semigroup S satisfies a certain finiteness condition, introduced by Teply, Turman and Quesada in 1980, then the converse does hold.
Abstract
In 1976, Domanov showed that the algebra of an inverse semigroup S over a field F is semiprimitive (that is, has zero Jacobson radical) if the algebra of each maximal subgroup of S over F is semiprimitive. It is known that the converse statement is false in general. The principal purpose of this paper is to announce that if the semi-lattice of S satisfies a certain finiteness condition, introduced by Teply, Turman and Quesada in 1980, then the converse does hold. Corresponding results for primitivity are also discussed.

The Algebraic Structure of Group Rings

D. S. Passman
TL;DR: For a group G over an integral domain R the group ring R(G) is a free unitary i-module over the elements of G as a basis and in which the multiplication on G is extended linearly to yield an associative multiplication on R (G), becoming a ring with an identity.

On semigroup algebras

TL;DR: In the classical theory of representations of a finite group by matrices over a field, the concept of the group algebra (group ring) over is of fundamental importance as discussed by the authors, and the main property of such an algebra is that it is semi-simple, provided that the characteristic of is zero or a prime not dividing the order of the groups.

Free Inverse Semigroups

TL;DR: In this article, a graph-theoretic technique for representing the elements of the free inverse semigroup FIA is presented, based on the notion of a word-tree on a set A. With the aid of this technique various properties of FIA are easily deduced.
