Remarks on Semimodules
This is a study of universal problems for semimodules, in particular coequalizers, coproducts, and tensor products. Furthermore the structure theory of semiideals of the semiring of natural numbers is extended.

Boolean Monomial Dynamical Systems
An important problem in the theory of finite dynamical systems is to link the structure of a system with its dynamics. This paper contains such a link for a family of nonlinear systems over the field with two elements. For systems that can be described by monomials (including Boolean AND systems), one can obtain information about the limit cycle structure from the structure of the monomials. In particular, the paper contains a sufficient condition for a monomial system to have only fixed points as limit cycles. This condition depends on the cycle structure of the dependency graph of the system and can be verified in polynomial time.

On Lie Algebras in the Category of Yetter-Drinfeld Modules
The category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a Hopf algebra (with bijektive antipode over a field) is a braided monoidal category. Given a Hopf algebra in this category then the primitive elements of this Hopf algebra do not form an ordinary Lie algebra anymore. We introduce the notion of a (generalized) Lie algebra in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules such that the set of primitive elements of a Hopf algebra is a Lie algebra in this sense. It has n-ary partially defined Lie multiplications on certain symmetric submodules of n- fold tensor products. They satisfy antisymmetry and Jacobi identities. Also the Yetter-Drinfeld module of derivations of an associative algebra in the category of Yetter- Drinfeld modules is a Lie algebra. Furthermore for each Lie algebra in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules there is a universal enveloping algebra which turns out to be a (braided) Hopf algebra in this category.

On Lie Algebras in Braided Categories
The set of primitive elements of a Hopf algebra in the braided category of group graded vector spaces (with a commutative group) carry the structure of a generalized Lie algebra. In particular the graded derivations of an associative algebra carry this Lie algebra structure. The Lie multiplications consist of certain n-ary partially defined multiplications satisfying generalized antisymmetry and Jacobi identities. This generalizes the concept of Lie super algebras and Lie color algebras. We show that universal enveloping algebras in the braided category exist. They are (braided) Hopf algebras. This explains many constructions of noncommutative noncocommutative Hopf algebras in the literature.

Reconstruction of Hidden Symmetries
Representations of a group $G$ in vector spaces over a field $K$ form a category. One can reconstruct the given group $G$ from its representations to vector spaces as the full group of monoidal automorphisms of the underlying functor. This is a special example of Tannaka-Krein theory. This theory was used in recent years to reconstruct quantum groups (quasitriangular Hopf algebras) in the study of algebraic quantum field theory and other applications. We show that a similar study of representations in spaces with additional structure (super vector spaces, graded vector spaces, comodules, braided monoidal categories) produces additional symmetries, called ``hidden symmetries''. More generally, reconstructed quantum groups tend to decompose into a smash product of the given quantum group and a quantum group of ``hidden'' symmetries of the base category.
