An overview over conjugacy in semigroups
 
 
Description:  When generalizing a concept, it is sometimes tempting to think that there should be one correct, or even preferred, generalization. Since semigroup theory is a vast subject, intersecting many areas of pure and applied mathematics, it is probably not reasonable to expect a one-size-fits-all notion of conjugacy suitable for all purposes. Instead, we think that the goal of studying conjugacy in semigroups is to determine what different notions of conjugacy look like in various classes of semigroups, and how they interact with each other and with other mathematical concepts. In this talk we would like to present some ideas that support this perpective, and also show some results that relate some of the possible conjugacy generalizations for semigroups.
