question.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I is
an introductory one. Part II is the core of the
book. It gives a full account of the general FI
theory, which is based on the concept of a d-
free set; various constructions and concrete
examples of d-free sets are given, and FI’s
on d-free sets are thoroughly studied. Part III
deals with applications. Its main purpose is
to demonstrate how one can find FI’s when
considering different problems, and then
effectively use the general theory exposed
in Part II. Perhaps the most illuminating
example of the applicability are solutions of
long-standing Herstein’s conjectures on Lie
homomorphisms and Lie derivations - in the
proofs practically the entire FI theory is used.
