报告1：On an equivalence between semigroups and certain categories with thin strict factorization systems-1

报告时间：2024年4月24日（星期三）15:30-16:30

报告简介：Since the seminal work of Nambooripad, there has been a growing interest in representations of semigroups by certain small categories. This led to the well-known equivalence between inverse semigroups and inductive groupoids (the Ehresmann-Schein-Nambooripad theorem), or the less-known equivalences between the category of regular semigroups, the category of regular inductive groupoids, and the category of cross-connections. In the talk, we will show how the Schützenberger category of a semigroup allows the construction of an equivalence between the category of semigroups and the category of small categories with a strict factorization system and a bimodule map. Taking natural transformations into account, this extends to an equivalence for a 2-category of unital semigroups. As an application, we will show that in this 2-categorical setting, 2-equivalence happens to be exactly Morita equivalence (of monoids).

报告3：Characterizations of clean elements-1

报告时间：2024年4月28日（星期日）15:30-16:30

报告简介：We characterize clean elements in unital and general rings by means of outer inverses. Some special cases, such as both clean and unit-regular elements, or strongly clean elements, are discussed. As an application, we also derive new characterizations of strongly regular elements.
