Sinopsi

The theories of V. V. Wagner (1908-1981) on abstractions of systems of binary relations are presented here within their historical and mathematical contexts. áThis book contains the first translation from Russian into English of a selection of WagnerâÇÖs papers, the ideas of which are connected to present-day mathematical research. áAlong with a translation of WagnerâÇÖs main work in this area, áhis 1953 paper âÇÖTheory of generalised heaps and generalised groups,âÇÖ the book also includes translations of three short precursor articles that provide additional context for his major work. Researchers and students interested in both algebra (in particular, heaps, semiheaps, generalised heaps, semigroups, and groups) and differential geometry will benefit from the techniques offered by these translations, owing to the natural connections between generalised heaps and generalised groups, and the role played by these concepts in differential geometry.á This book gives examples from present-day mathematics where ideas related to WagnerâÇÖs have found fruitful applications.
