Meldrum, J.D.P., Wreath products of groups and semigroups., August 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wreath Products of Groups and Semigroups (Monographs and Surveys in Pure and Applied Mathematics) (Hardcover)
Wreath products have been used in many areas of group theory as well as of semigroup theory for many years. Nevertheless so far there has been no monograph devoted to this important construction. This is a reason why this book will be interesting for specialists in mentioned fields. The book consists of two parts devoted to wreath products of groups and semigroups respectively. The basic approach here in this parts are permutation groups and transformation semigroups as the constituents of the considered wreath products. Some familiarity with group theory will be important since quite a few concepts are used without explication or definition, especially for some parts of notation this may be inconvenient for some readers. References, far from being complete, are sometimes just mentioned but do not appear anywhere in the text, which the author himself points out.
