Abstract

In a group G, elements a and b are conjugate if there exists g∈G such that g⁻¹ag=b. This conjugacy relation, which plays an important role in group theory, can be extended in a natural way to inverse semigroups: for elements a and b in an inverse semigroup S, a is conjugate to b, which we will write as a∼_ib, if there exists g∈S¹ such that g⁻¹ag=b and gbg⁻¹=a. The purpose of this paper is to study the conjugacy ∼_i in several classes of inverse semigroups: symmetric inverse semigroups, McAllister P-semigroups, factorizable inverse monoids, Clifford semigroups, the bicyclic monoid, stable inverse semigroups, and free inverse semigroups.

N2 - In a group G, elements a and b are conjugate if there exists g∈G such that g−1ag=b. This conjugacy relation, which plays an important role in group theory, can be extended in a natural way to inverse semigroups: for elements a and b in an inverse semigroup S, a is conjugate to b, which we will write as a∼ib, if there exists g∈S1 such that g−1ag=b and gbg−1=a. The purpose of this paper is to study the conjugacy ∼i in several classes of inverse semigroups: symmetric inverse semigroups, McAllister P-semigroups, factorizable inverse monoids, Clifford semigroups, the bicyclic monoid, stable inverse semigroups, and free inverse semigroups.
