Abstract

Følner density is a very natural notion of density which is defined on any semigroup satisfying the Strong Følner Condition (SFC). (These include all commutative semigroups and all left cancellative left amenable semigroups.) Piecewise syndetic and thick are notions of largeness arising from topological dynamics. It has been known that if S satisfies SFC and is either left cancellative or satisfies a weak right cancellation requirement, then every thick subset has density 1. We show here that in any semigroup S satisfying SFC a subset of S is thick if and only if it has density 1. As a consequence, every piecewise syndetic set has positive density.

厚集正是福尔纳密度为 1 的集合

福尔纳密度是一个非常自然的密度概念，它定义在任何满足强福尔纳条件（SFC）的半群上（包括所有交换半群和所有左可抵消半群）。片状联合和厚是产生于拓扑动力学的大型概念。众所周知，如果 S 满足 SFC，并且是左可消的或满足弱右可消的要求，那么每个厚子集的密度都是 1。我们在此证明，在任何满足 SFC 的半群 S 中，当且仅当 S 的一个子集具有密度 1 时，它就是厚子集。因此，每个片断联合集都有正密度。

期刊介绍： Semigroup Forum is a platform for speedy and efficient transmission of information on current research in semigroup theory. Scope: Algebraic semigroups, topological semigroups, partially ordered semigroups, semigroups of measures and harmonic analysis on semigroups, numerical semigroups, transformation semigroups, semigroups of operators, and applications of semigroup theory to other disciplines such as ring theory, category theory, automata, logic, etc. Languages: English (preferred), French, German, Russian. Survey Articles: Expository, such as a symposium lecture. Of any length. May include original work, but should present the nonspecialist with a reasonably elementary and self-contained account of the fundamental parts of the subject. Research Articles: Will be subject to the usual refereeing procedure. Research Announcements: Description, limited to eight pages, of new results, mostly without proofs, of full length papers appearing elsewhere. The announcement must be accompanied by a copy of the unabridged version. Short Notes: (Maximum 4 pages) Worthy of the readers'' attention, such as new proofs, significant generalizations of known facts, comments on unsolved problems, historical remarks, etc. Research Problems: Unsolved research problems. Announcements: Of conferences, seminars, and symposia on Semigroup Theory. Abstracts and Bibliographical Items: Abstracts in English, limited to one page, of completed work are solicited. Listings of books, papers, and lecture notes previously published elsewhere and, above all, of new papers for which preprints are available are solicited from all authors. Abstracts for Reviewing Journals: Authors are invited to provide with their manuscript informally a one-page abstract of their contribution with key words and phrases and with subject matter classification. This material will be forwarded to Zentralblatt für Mathematik.
