Semigroup Algebras

by Okninski

Overview

Gathers and unifies the results of the theory of noncommutative semigroup rings, primarily drawing on the literature of the last 10 years, and including several new results. Okninski (Warsaw U., Poland) restricts coverage to the ring theoretical properties for which a systematic treatment is current

Editorial Reviews

Gathers and unifies the results of the theory of noncommutative semigroup rings, primarily drawing on the literature of the last 10 years, and including several new results. Okninski (Warsaw U., Poland) restricts coverage to the ring theoretical properties for which a systematic treatment is currently possible. These particularly include the classical finiteness conditions--strong enough to provide definite general results, and PI-algebras--extending the well- developed theory of commutative semigroup rings. A section is also devoted to the most interesting open problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
