We introduce a class of regular extensions of regular semigroups, called enlargements; a regular semigroup T is said to be an enlargement of a regular subsemigroup S if S = STS and T = TST. We show that S and T have many properties in common, and that enlargements may be used to analyse a number of questions in regular semigroup theory.

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.

Let S be a regular semigroup and be its congruence lattice. For ρ ∈ , we consider the sublattice Lρ of generated by the congruences pw where w ∈ {K, k, T, t}* and w has no subword of the form KT, TK, kt, tk. Here K, k, T, t are the operators on induced by the kernel and the trace relations on . We find explicitly the least lattice L whose homomorphic image is Lρ for all ρ ∈ and represent it as a distributive lattice in terms of generators and relations. We also consider special cases: bands of groups, E-unitary regular semigroups, completely simple semigroups, rectangular groups as well as varieties of completely regular semigroups.

In this paper, we investigate regular semigroups that possess a normal idempotent. First, we construct a nonorthodox nonidempotent-generated regular semigroup which has a normal idempotent. Furthermore, normal idempotents are described in several different ways and their properties are discussed. These results enable us to provide conditions under which a regular semigroup having a normal idempotent must be orthodox. Finally, we obtain a simple method for constructing all regular semigroups that contain a normal idempotent.

AbstractIn any regular semigroup with an orthodox transversal, we define two sets R and L using Green’s relations and give necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be subsemigroups. By using R and L, some equivalent conditions for an orthodox transversal to be a quasi-ideal are obtained. Finally, we give a structure theorem for regular semigroups with quasi-ideal orthodox transversals by two orthodox semigroups R and L.

Suppose S is a regular semigroup and E is its set of idempotents. If E is subsemigroup of S, then S has been called orthodox and studied recently by Hall [3], Meakin [6], and Yamada [8]. In this paper we assume that E is not (necessarily) a subsemigroup of S and consider the subsemigroup generated by E, denoted <E>. If E denotes the set of all elements of S which can be written E, denoted <E>. If E denotes the set of all elements of S which can be written as the product of n (not necessarily distinct) idempotents of S, then . We show that <E> is always a regular subsemigroup of S and investigate relationships between it and S. The case where <E> = S is of particular interest to us; such semigroups will be referred to as idempotent-generated regular semi- groups.

Let E be the set of idempotents of a regular semigroup; we prove that V(En) = En+1 (see below for the meaning of this notation). This generalizes a result of Miller and Clifford ([3], theorem 4, quoted as exercise 3(b), p. 61, of Clifford and Preston [1]) and the converse, proved by Howie and Lallement ([2], lemma 1.1), which together establish the case n = 1. As a corollary, we deduce that the subsemigroup generated by the idempotents of a regular semigroup is itself regular.

An ordered regular semigroup, , is said to be principally ordered if for every  there exists . A principally ordered regular semigroup is pointed if for every element,  we have . Here we investigate those principally ordered regular semigroups that are eventually pointed in the sense that for all  there exists a positive integer, , such that . Necessary and sufficient conditions for an eventually pointed principally ordered regular semigroup to be naturally ordered and to be completely simple are obtained. We describe the subalgebra of  generated by a pair of comparable idempotents  and such that .

AbstractA characterization of group congruences on an eventually regular semigroup S is provided. It is shown that a group congruence is dually right modular in the lattice of congruences on S. Also for any group congruence ℸ and any congruence p on S, ℸ Vp and kernel ℸ Vp are described.

As a continuation of the work done in (R. Mukherjee (Pal), P. Pal and S. K. Sardar, On additively completely regular seminearrings, Commun. Algebra 45(12) (2017) 5111–5122), in this paper, our objective is to characterize left (right) completely simple seminearrings in terms of Rees Construction by generalizing the concept of Rees matrix semigroup (J. M. Howie, Fundamentals of Semigroup Theory (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1995); M. Petrich and N. R. Reilly, Completely Regular Semigroups (Wiley, New York, 1999)) and that of Rees matrix semiring (M. K. Sen, S. K. Maity and H. J. Weinert, Completely simple semirings, Bull. Calcutta Math. Soc. 97 (2005) 163–172). In Rees theorem, a completely simple semigroup is coordinatized in such a way that each element can be seen to be a triplet which gives this abstract structure a much more simpler look. In this paper, we have been able to construct a similar kind of coordinate structure of a restricted class of left (right) completely simple seminearrings taking impetus from (M. P. Grillet, Semirings with a completely simple additive semigroup, J. Austral. Math. Soc. 20(Ser. A) (1975) 257–267, Theorem [Formula: see text] and (M. K. Sen, S. K. Maity and H. J. Weinert, Completely simple semirings, Bull. Calcutta Math. Soc. 97 (2005) 163–172, Theorem [Formula: see text]).

In this paper, we prove that a completely 0-simple (or completely simple) semigroup is an amalgamation base for finite semigroups if and only if it is an amalgamation base for semigroups. By adopting the same method as used in a previous paper, we prove that a finite regular semigroup is an amalgamation base for finite semigroups if its [Formula: see text]-classes are linearly ordered and all of its principal factor semigroups are amalgamation bases for finite semigroups. Finally, we give an example of a finite semigroup U which is an amalgamation base for semigroups, but not all of its principal factor semigroups are amalgamation bases either for semigroups or for finite semigroups.
