This monograph thoroughly explores the development of the theory of varieties of semigroups and of two related algebras: involution semigroups and monoids. Through this in-depth analysis, readers will attain a deeper understanding of the differences between these three types of varieties, which may otherwise seem counterintuitive. New results with detailed proofs are also presented that answer previously unsolved fundamental problems. Featuring both a comprehensive overview as well as highlighting the author’s own significant contributions to the area, this book will help establish this subfield as a matter of timely interest. Advances in the Theory of Varieties of Semigroups will appeal to researchers in universal algebra and will be particularly valuable for specialists in semigroups.

Über Autor(innen)

Edmond W. H. Lee is a professor of mathematics at Nova Southeastern University, USA. He holds a Ph.D. from Simon Fraser University, Canada, and a D.Sc. from National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia. As a mathematician, Lee is primarily interested in the theory of varieties of semigroups—a topic that lies in the intersection of universal algebra and semigroup theory—and is best known for his work on equational theories of small semigroups. Lee is currently an active member of the editorial boards of Algebra Universalis and Semigroup Forum.
