Dedicated to George Szekeres on the occasion of his 90th birthdayNecessary and sufficient conditions for equality over the pseudovariety CR of all finite completely regular semigroups are obtained. They are inspired by the solution of the word problem for free completely regular semigroups and clarify the role played by groups in the structure of such semigroups. A strengthened version of Ash's inevitability theorem (κ-reducibility of the pseudovariety G of all finite groups) is proposed as an open problem and it is shown that, if this stronger version holds, then CR is also κ-reducible and, therefore, hyperdecidable.

The concept of ρG-strong semilattice of semigroups is introduced. By using this concept, we study Green's relation ℋ on a completely regular semigroup S. Necessary and sufficient conditions for S/ℋ to be a regular band or a right quasi-normal band are obtained. Important results of Petrich and Reilly on regular cryptic semigroups are generalized and enriched. In particular, characterization theorems of regular cryptogroups and normal cryptogroups are obtained.

Let W denote the intersection with the pseudovariety of completely regular semigroups of the Mal'cev product of the pseudovariety of bands with a pseudovariety V of completely regular semigroups. It is shown that the (pseudo)word problem for W is reduced to that for V in such a way that decidability is preserved in the case in which terms involving only multiplication and weak inversion are considered. It is also shown that, if V is a hyperdecidable (respectively canonically reducible) pseudovariety of groups, then so is W.

J. Rhodes asked during the Chico Conference in 1986 for the calculation of joins of semigroup pseudovarieties. This paper proves that the join J∨H of the pseudovariety J of [Formula: see text]-trivial semigroups and of any 2-strongly decidable pseudovariety V of of completely regular semigroups is decidable. This problem was proposed by the first author for V=G, the pseudovariety of finite groups.

AbstractSeveral morphisms of this lattice V(CR) are found, leading to decompostions of it, and various sublattices, into subdirect products of interval sublattices. For example the map V → V ∪ G (where G is the variety of groups) is shown to be a retraction of V(CR); from modularity of the lattice V(BG) of varieties of bands of groups it follows that the map V → (V ∪ V V G) is an isomorphism of V(BG).

AbstractIn this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on a regular semigroup in order that it should be an idempotent separating homomorphic image of a full subsemigroup of the direct product of a group and a fundamental or combinatorial regular semigroup. The main tool used is the concept of a prehomomrphism θ: S → T between regular semigroups. This is a mapping such that (ab) θ ≦ aθ bθ in the natural partial order on T.
