Topic: Free monoid


  
  Free semigroup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, the free monoid on a set A is the monoid whose elements are all the finite sequences (or strings) of zero or more elements from A, with the binary operation of concatenation.
More generally, a monoid (or semigroup) S is described as free if it is isomorphic to the free monoid (or semigroup) on some set.
As the name implies, free monoids and semigroups are those objects which satisfy the usual universal property defining free objects, in the respective categories of monoids and semigroups.

 Monoid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics, a monoid is an algebraic structure with a single, associative binary operation and an identity element.
A monoid whose operation is commutative is called a commutative monoid (or, less commonly, an abelian monoid).
The axioms required of a monoid operation are exactly those required of morphism composition when restricted to the set of all morphisms which start and end at a given object (i.e.

These are rather simpler than free groups: the free monoid on a set X, is the monoid of all finite (A linear sequence of symbols (characters or words or phrases)) strings using X as alphabet, with operation (The act of linking together as in a series or chain) concatenation of strings.
Free objects are created by a (additional info and facts about left adjoint) left adjoint G to F: for a set X the free object on X as 'generators' is G(X).

 Monoid: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Monoid
A monoid is a pair (M,*), where M is a set and * is a binary operation on M, obeying the following rules:
In other words, a monoid is a semigroup with an identity element.
It is possible to view categories as generalizations of monoids: the composition of morphism in a category shares all properties of a monoid operation except that not all pairs of morphisms may be composed.

In general, the setting for a free object is like this: a category C of algebraic structures (sets plusoperations, obeying some laws) has a functor F to Sets, thecategory of sets and functions, that simply ignores the operations.
Free objectsare created by a left adjoint G to F: for a setX the free object on X as 'generators' is G(X).

 Natural number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This turns the natural numbers (N, +) into a commutative monoid with identity element 0, the so-called free monoid with one generator.
This monoid satisfies the cancellation property and can therefore be embedded in a group.
This turns (N, ×) into a commutative monoid with identity element 1; a generator set for this monoid is the set of prime numbers.

 6. Relating the Submonoid and Subalgebra Membership Problems in Monoids and Monoid Rings
Submonoids in free monoids are used in the theory of codes, but codes (as regular languages) are usually studied using techniques from formal language theory.
Hence the submonoid cannot be described adequately in the monoid ring using the right ideal congruence as in the subgroup case studied before.
The next theorem states that the submonoid problem for a monoid is equivalent to a special instance of the subalgebra membership problem in the corresponding monoid ring.

 Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A rewrite monoid M is a finitely presented monoid in which equality between elements of M, called words or strings, is decidable via a sequence of rewriting equations, called reduction relations, rules, or equations.
If a rewrite monoid M is confluent its reduction relations, or more specifically its reduction machine, can be used to reduce words in M to their irreducible normal forms under the given ordering, and so the word problem for M can be efficiently solved.
The objects are the rewrite monoids and the morphisms are monoid homomorphisms.

 AlgebraicStructures - PineWiki
Let A be the free monoid over { a, b, c }, and let B be the subalgebra generated by aaa.
In a free semigroup, x(yz) = (xy)z, always, because of the associativity axiom, but xy is never equal to x for any x and y, xy is never equal to yx, etc. In a free monoid, xe = ex = x, but xy is never equal to x unless y = e, and so forth.
Fortunately this reversal operation is an isomorphism between the two monoids, and in general we can show that any free algebra for a given class with a given base set is unique up to isomorphism, which means that while there may be more than one such algebra, there is only one isomorphism equivalence class.

 Fields Institute - Workshop on Profinite Groups and Applications
Thus, a natural question about the structure of (finitely generated) free profinite semigroups is which profinite groups can appear as its maximal subgroups.
The technique which we have developed consists in producing maximal subgroups by studying the dynamics of the monoid of continuous endomorphisms of finitely generated free profinite semigroups, which is a profinite monoid under the pointwise convergence topology.
A group G is called conjugacy separable if any two non-conjugate elements map to non-conjugate elements in some finite quotient of G; and G is called subgroup separable if failure of an element to lie in a given finitely generated subgroup can again be detected by passage to some finite quotient.
