AbstractA completely regular semigroup is a semigroup which is a union of groups. The class CR of completely regular semigroups forms a variety. On the lattice L (CR) of completely regular semigroup varieties we define two closure operations which induce complete congruences. The consideration of a third complete congruence on L (CR) yields a subdirect decomposition of L (CR). Using these results we show that L (CR) is arguesian. This confirms the (tacit) conjecture that L (CR) is modular.

By adjusting a method of Kadourek and Polák developed for free semigroups satisfying xr ≏ x, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a periodic group variety, then any maximal subgroup of the free object in the completely regular semigroup variety of the form [Formula: see text] is a relatively free group in [Formula: see text] over a suitable set of free generators. When [Formula: see text] is locally finite, we provide some bounds for the sizes of its finitely generated members.

A semigroup which is a union of groups is said to be completely regular. If in addition the idempotents form a subsemigroup, the semigroup is said to be orthodox and is called an orthogroup. A completely regular semigroup S is provided in a natural way with a unary operation of inverse by letting a-l for a ∈ S be the group inverse of a in the maximal subgroup of S to which a belongs. This unary operation satisfies the identities(1)(2)(3)In fact a completely regular semigroup can be defined as a unary semigroup (a semigroup with an added unary operation) satisfying these identities. An orthogroup can be characterized as a completely regular semigroup satisfying the additional identity(4)
