Subjects: Symbolic and mathematical Logic, Group theory, Algebra, Mathematics, Combinatorics, Geometry, Associative rings, Algebraic fields

Description: This present volume is the Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Nearrings and Nearfields held in Hamburg at the Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, from July 30 to August 6, 1995. It contains the written version of five invited lectures concerning the development from nearfields to K-loops, non-zerosymmetric nearrings, nearrings of homogeneous functions, the structure of Omega-groups, and ordered nearfields. They are followed by 30 contributed papers reflecting the diversity of the subject of nearrings and related structures with respect to group theory, combinatorics, geometry, topology as well as the purely algebraic structure theory of these algebraic structures. Audience: This book will be of value to graduate students of mathematics and algebraists interested in the theory of nearrings and related algebraic structures.
