Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This account of algebraic monoids ... starts by recalling the basics of algebraic geometry, algebraic groups and semigroups ... . The main question, how a monoid is composed of units and idempotents, is discussed at length ... . A most useful account, giving current developments of the subject." (Mathematika, Vol. 52, 2005)
