On Ehresmann semigroups (2102.12250v2)
Published 24 Feb 2021 in math.CT
Abstract: We formulate an alternative approach to describing Ehresmann semigroups by means of left and right \'etale actions of a meet semilattice on a category. We also characterize the Ehresmann semigroups that arise as the set of all subsets of a finite category. As applications, we prove that every restriction semigroup can be nicely embedded into a restriction semigroup constructed from a category, and we describe when a restriction semigroup can be nicely embedded into an inverse semigroup.
