This book is a collection of selected papers presented at the International Conference on Semigroups and Applications, held at the Cochin University of Science and Technology, India, from December 9–12, 2019. This book discusses the recent developments in semigroups theory, category theory and the applications of these in various areas of research, including structure theory of semigroups, lattices, rings and partial algebras. This book presents chapters on ordering orders and quotient rings, block groups and Hall’s relations, quotients of the Booleanization of inverse semigroup, Markov chains through semigroup graph expansions, polycyclic inverse monoids and Thompson group, balanced category and bundle category. This book will be of much value to researchers working in areas of semigroup and operator theory.
