Item Description:The first book on commutative semigroups was Redei's The theory of finitely generated commutative semigroups, published in Budapest in 1956. Subsequent years have brought much progress. By 1975 the structure of finite commutative semigroups was fairly well understood. Recent results have perfected this understanding and extended it to finitely generated semigroups. Today's coherent and powerful structure theory is the central subject of the present book. 1. Commutative semigroups are more important than is suggested by the standard examples of semigroups, which consist of various kinds of transformations or arise from finite automata, and are usually quite noncommutative. Commutative semigroups provide a natural setting and a useful tool for the study of factorization in rings. Additive subsemigroups of N and Nn have close ties to algebraic geometry. Commutative rings are constructed from commutative semigroups as semigroup algebras or power series rings. These areas are all subjects of active research and together account for about half of all current papers on commutative semigroups. Commutative results also invite generalization to larger classes of semigroups. Archimedean decompositions, a comparatively small part of today's arsenal, have been generalized extensively, as shown for instance in the upcoming books by Nagy [2001] and Ciric [2002]
