    On the equation V * G = ΕV

    This note uses some recent powerful tools related with semidirect products V W of pseudovarieties of semigroups, particularly when the second factor is the pseudovariety G of all finite groups, to give syntactic proofs of equalities of the form V G = EV, where EV denotes the pseudovariety consisting of the finite semigroups whose idempotents generate subsemigroups from V. Subpseudovarieties V of DS are considered, including all subpseudovarieties of LI, DA, DS itself, and J, the latter providing a new proof of a result of Henckell and Rhodes. 1. Introduction Since the publication of Eilenberg's treatise [13], motivated by earlier developments stemming from applications in computer science, the theory of finite semigroups has evolved mainly in the form of their classification in pseudovarieties. For later developments, see the introductory book by Pin [23] and the first author's book [1]. From the early beginnings, several operators on pseudovarieties associated with natural operator..

    Snubbed Landmark: Why United States v. Cruikshank (1876) Belongs at the Heart of the American Constitutional Canon

    No full text
    United States v. Cruikshank (1876) is an unacknowledged landmark of American constitutional jurisprudence. Cruikshank, not the far more famous Civil Rights Cases, limited the Fourteenth Amendment to protect only against state action; Cruikshank, not the notorious Slaughter-House Cases, narrowed the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to exclude rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights; Cruikshank, not the canonical Washington v. Davis, announced that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause protected only against provably intentional race discrimination; and Cruikshank, not the Civil Rights Cases or City of Boerne v. Flores, first excepted the Fourteenth Amendment from the general principle that Congress enjoys discretion to select the means of implementing its constitutional powers. Historically, if the argument of this Article holds true, Cruikshank played a crucial role in terminating Reconstruction and launching the one-party, segregationist regime of “Jim Crow” that prevailed in the South until the 1960s. The circuit court opinion of Justice Joseph Bradley unleashed the second and decisive phase of Reconstruction-era terrorism, while the ruling of the full Court ensured its successful culmination in the “redemption” of the black-majority states. Despite its enormous jurisprudential and historical importance, however, Cruikshank has been omitted from the mainstream narrative and pedagogical canon of constitutional law. The results have been obfuscation and distortion. Unlike the Civil Rights Cases, Slaughter-House, Davis, and City of Boerne — from which students learn the principles actually announced in Cruikshank — Cruikshank lays bare the true origin of those principles in affirmative judicial intervention immunizing overtly racist terrorism against effective law enforcement. By contrast, Plessy v. Ferguson, the legal profession’s chosen focus for confession and atonement, merely let stand the legal product of a white supremacist state government that owed its existence to Cruikshank. With Cruikshank safely off stage, American law students are treated to a happy tale of progress from Plessy to Brown starring the Supreme Court as the primary protector of civil rights — a role that, ironically, the Court carved out for itself by truncating Congress’s civil rights powers in Cruikshank. Add Cruikshank, and the entire narrative shifts in ways that upset time-honored notions in the dimensions of federalism, separation of powers, popular constitutionalism, and class.Peer reviewe

    Constructing Tychonoff G-spaces which are not G-Tychonoff

    No full text
    AbstractJan de Vries' compactification problem is whether every Tychonoff G-space can be equivariantly embedded in a compact G-space. In such a case, we say that G is a V-group. De Vries showed that every locally compact group G is a V-group. The first example of a non-V-group was constructed in 1988 by the first author. Until now, this was the only known counterexample. In this paper, we give a systematic method of constructing noncompactifiable G-spaces. We show that the class of non-V-groups is large and contains all second countable (even ℵ0-bounded) nonlocally precompact groups. This establishes the existence of monothetic (even cyclic) non-V-groups, answering a question of the first author. As a related result, we obtain a characterization of locally compact groups in terms of “G-normality”

    The Thirteenth Amendment at the Intersection of Class and Gender: Robertson v. Baldwin’s Exclusion of Infants, Lunatics, Women, and Seamen

    No full text
    Slavery was but one of many hierarchical relations, including parent-child, husband-wife, master-apprentice, and master-servant, that arose within the legally constructed household. The Thirteenth Amendment’s prohibition on slavery and involuntary servitude, which contained no explicit domestic exception, inevitably raised the question whether domestic relations other than chattel slavery would be affected. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Robertson v. Baldwin (1897) carved out a domestic exception to the Amendment for children, wards, adult seamen and – in practice – women in intimate relationships. This article, written for a symposium on the Thirteenth Amendment and class, examines the origins, justifications, scholarship, and case law of Robertson’s domestic exception, including its application to seamen, abused children and battered women.Peer reviewe

    b-Generalized Skew Derivations on Multilinear Polynomials in Prime Rings

    No full text
    Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, Qr be its right Martindale quotient ring and C be its extended centroid. In this paper we define b-generalized skew derivations of prime rings. Then we describe all possible forms of two b-generalized skew derivations F and G satisfying the condition F(x)x − xG(x) = 0, for all x ∈ S, where S is the set of the evaluations of a multilinear polynomial f(x1, ..., xn) over C with n non-commuting variables. Several potential research topics related to our current work are also presented. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
