Review text

An involution \(x\mapsto x^*\) in a semigroup or ring \(S\) is said to be special if for every non-empty subset \(T\) of \(S\) there exists \(t\in T\) such that for all \(u,v\in T\) if \(tt^*=uv^*\) then \(u=v\). This paper is a survey of the many surprising results which may be proved with the aid of this concept, including applications to semigroup algebras. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0890.00035].
