=====Semifields=====

Abbreviation: **Sfld**
====Definition====
A \emph{semifield} is a [[semirings with identity|semiring with identity]] $\mathbf{S}=\langle S,+,\cdot, 1\rangle $ such that


$\langle S^*,\cdot,1\rangle$ is a group, where $S^*=S-\{0\}$ if $S$ has an absorbtive $0$, and $S=S^*$ otherwise.


==Morphisms==
Let $\mathbf{S}$ and $\mathbf{T}$ be semifields. A morphism from $\mathbf{S}$
to $\mathbf{T}$ is a function $h:S\to T$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y)$, $h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y)$

====Examples====

====Basic results====

The only finite semifield that is not a field is the 2-element Boolean semifield: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.06923.pdf
