=====Left cancellative semigroups=====

Abbreviation: **CanSgrp**
====Definition====
A \emph{left cancellative semigroup} is a semigroup $\mathbf{S}=\langle
S,\cdot \rangle $ such that

$\cdot $ is left cancellative:  $z\cdot x=z\cdot y\Longrightarrow x=y$
==Morphisms==
Let $\mathbf{S}$ and $\mathbf{T}$ be left cancellative semigroups. A morphism from 
$\mathbf{S}$ to $\mathbf{T}$ is a function $h:S\rightarrow T$ that is a
homomorphism: 

$h(xy)=h(x)h(y)$

====Examples====
Example 1: $\langle \mathbb{N},+\rangle $, the natural numbers, with additition.
