A monoid is a semigroup with a neutral element. Of course, any group is also a monoid/semigroup.

What is the normalized complex of a simplicial set with a monoid action?

This question is a follow up to this question I posted on Math.SE. I will make this question self-contained, though. In a certain point on the paper The Geometry of Rewriting Systems, Kenneth Brown d …

How exactly to adapt Brown's collapse from monoids to algebras?

In The Geometry of Rewriting Systems (Springerlink behind paywall), Kenneth Brown describes a method to collapse the bar resolution of a monoid. Roughly: Given a simplicial set $X$ equipped with a c …
