Clifford semifields

Mridul K. Sen, Sunil K. Maity, Kar-Ping Shum (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

It is well known that a semigroup S is a Clifford semigroup if and only if S is a strong semilattice of groups. We have recently extended this important result from semigroups to semirings by showing that a semiring S is a Clifford semiring if and only if S is a strong distributive lattice of skew-rings. In this paper, we introduce the notions of Clifford semidomain and Clifford semifield. Some structure theorems for these semirings are obtained.

Construction, properties and applications of finite neofields

Anthony Donald Keedwell (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give a short account of the construction and properties of left neofields. Most useful in practice seem to be neofields based on the cyclic group and particularly those having an additional divisibility property, called D-neofields. We shall give examples of applications to the construction of orthogonal latin squares, to the design of tournaments balanced for residual effects and to cryptography.
