Abstract
Let S be a commutative cancellative semigroup of finite rank (the free rank of the quotient group of S is finite). We give a necessary and sufficient condition for S to have a nontrivial homomorphism into the additive semigroup of nonnegative (positive) reals. We also give a counter-example in the case of infinite rank.
