Abstract

For a cancellative semigroup S and a field F, it is proved that the semigroup algebra FS is centrally essential if and only if the group of fractions GSG_S of the semigroup SS exists and the group algebra FGSFG_S of GSG_S is centrally essential. The semigroup algebra of a cancellative semigroup is centrally essential if and only if it has the classical right ring of fractions which is a centrally essential ring. There exist non-commutative centrally essential semigroup algebras over fields of zero characteristic (this contrasts with the known fact that centrally essential group algebras over fields of zero characteristic are commutative).
