Abelian Groups and Representations of Finite Partially Ordered Sets (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2000)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2000, 24 October 2012

A recurring theme in a traditional introductory graduate algebra course is the existence and consequences of relationships between different algebraic structures. This is also the theme of this book, an exposition of connections between representations of finite partially ordered sets and abelian groups. Emphasis is placed throughout on classification, a description of the objects up to isomorphism, and computation of representation type, a measure of when classification is feasible.
