Halmos Mathematician Publishes Research Monograph

Halmos College of Arts and Sciences mathematician Edmond W. H. Lee, Ph.D., D.Sc., has recently published his research monograph “Advances in the Theory of Varieties of Semigroups” in the book series Frontiers in Mathematics by Birkhäuser (Springer).

The monograph explores the development of the theory of varieties of semigroups, a topic that lies in the intersection of universal algebra and semigroup theory. New results with detailed proofs are presented that solve previously open fundamental problems. Featuring a comprehensive overview of the relevant literature in addition to highlighting Lee’s own discoveries, the monograph is suitable for specialist researchers in the area.

Lee is a professor in the Department of Mathematics with over 20 years of experience in the research of varieties of semigroups and of other related algebraic structures. He is the world’s leading expert on equational theories of small semigroups and has co-supervised two Ph.D. students from external institutions. Lee currently serves on the editorial boards of Algebra Universalis and Semigroup Forum, two eminent specialist journals in his research area, and has to date published more than 40 single-authored peer-reviewed articles.
