Cellular covers of local groups
We prove that, in the category of groups, the composition of a cellularization and a localization functor need not be idempotent. This provides a negative answer to a question of Emmanuel Dror Farjoun.Ministerio de Educación y CienciaJunta de Andalucí
Simple fusion systems and the Solomon 2-local groups
We introduce a notion of simple fusion systems which imitates the corresponding notion for finite groups and show that the fusion system on the Sylow-2-subgroup of a 7-dimensional spinor group over a field of characteristic 3 considered by Ron Solomon [18] and by Ran Levi and Bob Oliver [11] is simple in this sense
Semigroup presentations for test local groups
In this paper we exhibit a type of semigroup presentations which determines a class of local groups. We show that the finite elements of this class generate the pseudovariety LG of all finite local groups and use them as test-semigroups to prove that LG and S, the pseudovariety of all finite semigroups, verify the same kappa-identities involving kappa-terms of rank at most 1, where kappa denotes the implicit signature consisting of the multiplication and the (omega-1)-power.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), under the project PEst-C/MAT/UI0013/2011European Regional Development Fund, through the programme COMPET
