An Ehresmann-Schein-Nambooripad type theorem for DRC-semigroups

S Wang - Semigroup Forum, 2022 - Springer
The aim of this paper is to study DRC-semigroups by “categorial approach” and give an
Ehresmann–Schein–Nambooripad type theorem (ESN type theorem for short) for this class …

Trace-and pseudo-products: restriction-like semigroups with a band of projections

DG FitzGerald, MK Kinyon - Semigroup Forum, 2021 - Springer
We ascertain conditions and structures on categories and semigroups which admit the
construction of pseudo-products and trace products respectively, making their connection as …

The algebra of non-deterministic programs: demonic operations, orders and axioms

R Hirsch, S Mikulás, T Stokes - Logic Journal of the IGPL, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Demonic composition, demonic refinement and demonic union are alternatives to the usual
'angelic'composition, angelic refinement (inclusion) and angelic (usual) union defined on …

D-semigroups and constellations

T Stokes - Semigroup Forum, 2017 - Springer
In a result generalising the Ehresmann–Schein–Nambooripad Theorem relating inverse
semigroups to inductive groupoids, Lawson has shown that Ehresmann semigroups …

On d-semigroups, r-semigroups, dr-semigroups and their subclasses

S Wang - Semigroup Forum, 2023 - Springer
Motivated by the demonic compositions of binary relations, Stokes has introduced
demigroups (that is, d-semigroups in our terminology) and shown that many well known …

How to generalise demonic composition

T Stokes - Semigroup Forum, 2021 - Springer
Demonic composition is defined on the set of binary relations over the non-empty set X,
Rel_X R el X, and is a variant of standard or “angelic” composition. It arises naturally in the …

Left restriction monoids from left E-completions

T Stokes - Journal of Algebra, 2022 - Elsevier
Given a monoid S with E any non-empty subset of its idempotents, we present a novel one-
sided version of idempotent completion we call left E-completion. In general, the …

Constellations with range and IS-categories

V Gould, T Stokes - Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2022 - Elsevier
Constellations are asymmetric generalisations of categories. Although they are not required
to possess a notion of range, many natural examples do. These include commonly occurring …

D-inverse constellations

V Gould, T Stokes - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.17282, 2024 - arxiv.org
We give an algebraic characterisation of ordered groupoids, namely, we show that there is a
categorical isomophism between the category of ordered groupoids and the category of $ D …

Axioms for signatures with domain and demonic composition

R Hirsch, T Stokes - Algebra universalis, 2021 - Springer
Demonic composition*∗ is an associative operation on binary relations, and demonic
refinement ⊑⊑ is a partial order on binary relations. Other operations on binary relations …
