Complexity of Finite Semigroups: History and Decidability

Abstract

Margolis, Rhodes and Schilling recently submitted two papers that proved that the complexity of a finite semigroup is computable. The purpose of this paper is to survey the basic results of Krohn–Rhodes complexity of finite semigroups and to outline the proof of its computability.
