Representations of inverse semigroups in complete atomistic inverse meet-semigroups. (English) Zbl 1508.20110

Summary: As an appropriate generalisation of the features of the classical (Schein) theory of representations of inverse semigroups in \(\mathscr{I}_X \), a theory of representations of inverse semigroups by homomorphisms into complete atomistic inverse \(\wedge\)-semigroups is developed. This class of inverse \(\wedge\)-semigroups, otherwise known as inverse algebras, includes partial automorphism monoids of entities such as graphs, vector spaces and modules. A workable theory of decompositions is reached; however complete distributivity is required for results approaching those of the classical case.
