Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0724.00010.] This is a survey on the topics in the title. Special attention is paid to completely simple semigroups, Clifford semigroups (semilattices of groups), bands. The author is interested in the Jacobson radical \(J(R[S])\) of a semigroup ring \(R[S]\). From the paper: ``The questions that will be considered are the following: Can we give a reasonable description of \(J(R[S])\)? When is \(J(R[S])=0\)? When is \(J(R[S])\) nil (or nilpotent)? The results discussed are mostly the specializations of more general results to the classes of semigroups considered. Such are the results on the semiprimitivity due to the author, Weissglass, Domanov, the reviewer. In Section 5 a description of \(J(R[S])\) for \(S\) a band is given (Theorem 5). In Section 6 the nil and nilpotency problem for \(J(R[S])\) is considered. These are mostly the results of the author himself published recently. As an example we refer to Theorem 9 which states that, for a ring \(R\) with unity and for \(S\) a band, \(J(R[S])\) is nil if and only if \(J(R)\) is nil. Table of contents: 1. Preliminaries, 2. Early results, 3. Completely simple semigroup rings, 4. Clifford semigroup rings, 5. Band rings, 6. Nilness and nilpotency of \(J(R[S])\), Appendix.
