 Bicyclic semigroup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the bicyclic semigroup is an algebraic object important for the structure theory of semigroups.
The bicyclic semigroup is the free semigroup on two generators p and q, under the relation p q = 1.
The bicyclic semigroup has the property that the image of any morphism φ from B to another semigroup S is either cyclic, or it is an isomorphic copy of B.

The bicycle is an energy-efficient, nonpolluting form of transport, and it is estimated that 800 million bicycles are in use throughout the world – outnumbering cars three to one.
Special bicycles with fat tyres, a strong frame, and more gears than conventional bicycles, designed to be ridden on rough terrain, have become popular since the 1970s; the first purpose-built mountain bikes went on sale in 1979.
Bicycle use in the UK Although one in three households own a bicycle, average use is only about 6 km/3.7 mi per week per household.

 Semigroup - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
A semigroup with an identity element is a monoid.
Two semigroups S and T are said to be isomorphic if there is a bijection f : S ↔ T with the property that, for any elements a, b in S, f(ab) = f(a)f(b).
If a monogenic semigroup is infinite then it is isomorphic to the semigroup of positive integers with the operation of addition.If it is finite and nonempty, then it must contain at least one idempotent.It follows that every nonempty periodic semigroup has at least one idempotent.

 PlanetMath: regular semigroup
In an inverse semigroup the set of idempotents is a subsemigroup, in particular a commutative band.
An example of an inverse semigroup is the bicyclic semigroup.
In particular, a regular semigroup with one idempotent is a group: as such, many interesting subclasses of regular semigroups arise from putting conditions on the idempotents.

 Green's relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Mackintosh Howie, a prominent semigroup theorist, described this work as "so all-pervading that, on encountering a new semigroup, almost the first question one asks is 'What are the Green relations like?'" (Howie 2002).
The opposite case, found for example in the bicyclic semigroup, is where each element is in an H-class of its own.
Staying within the world of semigroups, Green's relations can be extended to cover relative ideals, which are subsets that are only ideals with respect to a subsemigroup (Wallace 1963).

The operation of a semigroup is most often denoted multiplicatively, that is, x\cdot y or simply xy denotes the result of applying the semigroup operation to the ordered pair (x, y).
A semigroup formally consists of a pair (S,\cdot_S) where S is a set and a binary function \cdot_S: S \times S \rightarrow S called the operation of the semigroup.
Any semigroup S may be embedded into a monoid (generally denoted as S^1) simply by adjoining an element e not in S and defining es = s = se for all s ∈ S ∪.

Bicyclic units have an important role in the theory of units in the integral group ring of a finite group.
First we give a description of (prime contracted) semigroup algebras K[S] that are hereditary and Noetherian when S is either a Malcev nilpotent monoid, a cancellative monoid or a monoid extension of a finite non-null Rees matrix semigroup.
The case where S is a semigroup, i.e., a family closed under multiplication, has received a great deal of attention in the last decade or so.

Furthermore, we generalized the group ring case to semigroup rings of finite semigroups of which the rational semigroup algebra is semisimple.
Parmenter [84] discovered that the Bass cyclic units together with another kind of units, namely the f-unitary units, generate a subgroup of finite index in the unit group of the integral group ring of five groups of order 16 (including the two groups mentioned) and this despite the existence of exceptional components.
Furthermore, we obtained a characterization of semigroup algebras k[S], over infinite fields k and semigroups S generated by periodic elements, for which the unit group satisfies a group identity.

Description: An inverse semigroup is a semigroup in which every element has a unique generalised inverse.
Of course a group is an inverse semigroup, but the converse is not necessarily true.
The good thing about Clifford semigroups is that their structure can be broken down to groups and partially ordered sets.
