Algebra in the Stone-Cech Compactification : Theory and Applications.
This book, now in its second revised and extended edition, is a self-contained exposition of the theory of compact right semigroupsfor discrete semigroups and the algebraic properties of these objects. The methods applied in the book constitute a mosaic of infinite combinatorics, algebra and topolog...
