TL;DR: In this article, the authors study regular semigroups and study the minimum group congruence, the minimum band concongruence and the minimum semilattice conconcordence.
Abstract: In recent developments in the algebraic theory of semigroups attention has been focussing increasingly on the study of congruences, in particular on lattice-theoretic properties of the lattice of congruences. In most cases it has been found advantageous to impose some restriction on the type of semigroup considered, such as regularity, commutativity, or the property of being an inverse semigroup, and one of the principal tools has been the consideration of special congruences. For example, the minimum group congruence on an inverse semigroup has been studied by Vagner [21] and Munn [13], the maximum idempotent-separating congruence on a regular or inverse semigroup by the authors separately [9, 10] and by Munn [14], and the minimum semilattice congruence on a general or commutative semigroup by Tamura and Kimura [19], Yamada [22], Clifford [3] and Petrich [15]. In this paper we study regular semigroups and our primary concern is with the minimum group congruence, the minimum band congruence and the minimum semilattice congruence, which we shall consistently denote by α β and η respectively.

TL;DR: The module structure of the semigroup algebra of an arbitrary left regular band is studied, extending results for the semigroups of the faces of a hyperplane arrangement and the Cartan invariants are computed to compute the quiver of the face semigroupgebra of ahyperplane arrangement.
Abstract: Recently it has been noticed that many interesting combinatorial objects belong to a class of semigroups called left regular bands, and that random walks on these semigroups encode several well-known random walks. For example, the set of faces of a hyperplane arrangement is endowed with a left regular band structure. This paper studies the module structure of the semigroup algebra of an arbitrary left regular band, extending results for the semigroup algebra of the faces of a hyperplane arrangement. In particular, a description of the quiver of the semigroup algebra is given and the Cartan invariants are computed. These are used to compute the quiver of the face semigroup algebra of a hyperplane arrangement and to show that the semigroup algebra of the free left regular band is isomorphic to the path algebra of its quiver.

TL;DR: In this article, the set of numerical semigroups containing a given numerical semigroup is studied, and characterizations of irreducible numerical semiigroups that unify some of the existing characterizations for symmetric and pseudo-symmetric numerical semiGs are presented.
Abstract: We study the set of numerical semigroups containing a given numerical semigroup. As an application we prove characterizations of irreducible numerical semigroups that unify some of the existing characterizations for symmetric and pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroups. Finally we describe an algorithm for computing a minimal decomposition of a numerical semigroup in terms of irreducible numerical semigroups.

TL;DR: In this article, a cohomological framework for inverse semigroups is provided, which will not only fit the extension problem, but also discuss some apparently new notions such as complementation and inner automorphism for inverse semiigroups.
