Abstract

We determine precisely when the Stone-Cech compactification βS of a discrete semigroup S is simple and when it is left cancellative or right cancellative. As a consequence we see that βS is cancellative only when it is trivially so. That is, βS is cancellative if and only if S is a finite group.
