Embedding a monoid into a group via its monoid ring

Suppose I have a monoid $(M,\, \cdot,\, e)$ equipped with a monoid homomorphism $\textrm{length} : M \rightarrow \mathbb{N}_+$ into the monoid of natural numbers under addition where $e$ is the only ...

Is the group ring of an amenable group, viewed as multiplicative monoid, amenable?

Motivated by this question, it seems natural to ask the following: Question 1: Is there a [finitely generated discrete] torsion-free virtually Abelian (but not Abelian) group $G$ so that the ...

Right reversibility of submonoids of nilpotent groups

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group (optionally torsion-free). Let $N$ be a submonoid of $G$ (that is, a subsemigroup with $1$). A (cancellative) monoid/semigroup $S$ is right reversible if for ...
