A natural follow-up problem concerns the extension of Rado's theory to systems of polynomial equations. While this problem is still wide open, significant advances were made in the last two decades. We present some new results in this direction, and study related questions for general commutative semigroups. Among other things, we obtain extensions of a classical theorem of Deuber to the polynomial setting and prove that any finite coloring of the natural numbers contains a monochromatic triple of the form {x,x+y,xy}, settling an open problem. We employ methods from ergodic theory, topological dynamics and topological algebra. 2016-11-22 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1467131194 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1467131194 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
