The meeting began at around 14:05. We discussed what people had been working on. Finn has been looking at the translational hull of ideal of the full transformation monoid. Chris has been looking at factorizable inverse monoids, with distractions from bands. James made a release of Semigroups recently

James is considering several approaches to libsemigroups Python bindings:

  • cppyy - uses cling c++ interpreter, easy to get working with little new code but many bugs, some of which cause segfaults on valid usage. Might not be stable enough to be worth it?
  • pybind11 - not possible to include system libraries, would require new build system for libsemigroups
  • Cython - would work, but would require essentially duplicating a lot of code

James had work to do with visitors Yann Peresse and Zachary Mesyan, and the meeting dissolved quickly.
