Groups and Semigroups: Connections and Contrastsby John Meakin - University of Nebraska-Lincoln
In the present paper, I will discuss some of these connections between group theory and semigroup theory, and I will also discuss some rather surprising contrasts between the theories. I will focus primarily on the theory of inverse semigroups.
