The Algebra and Logic seminar is a research and learning seminar organized by the algebra and logic research group of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The scope of the seminar includes all topics with links to algebra, logic, or their applications, like general algebra, logic, model theory, category theory, set theory, set-theoretic topology, or theoretical computer science. If you have questions regarding this seminar, please contact Keith Kearnes or Peter Mayr.
Let S be a semigroup, and suppose that the full relation SxS is finitely generated as a right congruence. When S is a group this happens if and only if S is finitely generated, but in general there are many more examples, of arbitrarily large cardinalities. Let X be a finite generating set for SxS. Then, for any two elements s,t in S, there is a finite chain of X-transformations connecting s and t. The longest such chain is the X-diameter of S, and the smallest X-diameter when X ranges over all finite generating sets is the (right congruence) diameter of S, denoted D(S). This parameter can be finite or infinite. It turns out that it is finite for many classical semigroups of transformations, linear transformations and partitions, and is then very small, i.e. . Usually some intriguing combinatorics is involved in these results, but the underlying reasons for this phenomenon remain mysterious. The new results presented in this talk are due to various subsets of J. East, V. Gould, C. Miller, T. Quinn-Gregson and myself.

This talk explores the interplay between set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation and structures arising in algebraic logic. Central to this connection is the recently introduced theory of L-algebras, which generalizes well-known logical systems such as Hilbert and Heyting algebras. The presentation assumes minimal background. We will discuss illustrative examples, highlight open problems, and share several conjectures.
