The Szendrei Expansion of Restriction Semigroupoids

Abstract

We introduce the concept of a restriction semigroupoid S, which unifies the notion of restriction semigroups and restriction categories within a single structure. We prove a representation theorem, showing that every restriction semigroupoid can be embedded into a determined category of partial maps. Furthermore, we construct the Szendrei expansion Sz(S) of S and establish that each premorphism between two restriction semigroupoids S and T is uniquely factorized by a morphism between the Szendrei expansion Sz(S) and T.
