AbstractMcAlister proved that every regular locally inverse semigroup can be covered by a regular Rees matrix semigroup over an inverse semigroup by means of a homomorphism which is locally an isomorphism. We generalize this result to the class of semigroups with local units whose local submonoids have commuting idempotents and possessing what we term a ‘McAlister sandwich function’.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20M10.

It was first proved by McAlister in 1983 that every locally inverse semigroup is a locally isomorphic image of a regular Rees matrix semigroup over an inverse semigroup and Lawson in 2000 further generalized this result to some special locally adequate semigroups. In this paper, we show how these results can be extended to a class of locally Ehresmann semigroups.

We prove that any small cancellative category admits a faithful functor to a cancellative monoid. We use our result to show that any primitive ample semigroup is a full subsemigroup of a Rees matrix semigroup [Formula: see text] where M is a cancellative monoid and P is the identity matrix. On the other hand a consequence of a recent result of Steinberg is that it is undecidable whether a finite ample semigroup embeds as a full subsemigroup of an inverse semigroup.

Congruences on a semigroup S such that the corresponding factor semigroups are of a special type have been considered by several authors. Frequently it has been difficult to obtain worthwhile results unless restrictions have been imposed on the type of semigroup considered. For example, Munn [6] has studied minimum group congruences on an inverse semigroup, R. R. Stoll [9] has considered the maximal group homomorphic image of a Rees matrix semigroup which immediately determines the smallest group congruence on a Rees matrix semigroup. The smallest semilattice congruence on a general or commutative semigroup has been studied by Tamura and Kimura [10], Yamada [12] and Petrich [8]. In this paper we shall study congruences ρ on a completely regular semigroup S such that S/ρ is a semilattice of groups. We shall call such a congruence an SG-congruence.

SynopsisA Rees matrix semigroup over an inverse semigroup contains a greatest regular subsemigroup. The regular semigroups obtained in this manner are abstractly characterized here. The greatest completely simple homomorphic image and the idempotent generated part of such semigroups are investigated. Rectangular bands of semilattices of groups and some special cases are characterized in several ways.

AbstractAdapting the theory of the derived category to ordered groupoids, we prove that every ordered functor (and thus every inverse and regular semigroup homomorphism) factors as an enlargement followed by an ordered fibration. As an application, we obtain Lawson’s version of Ehresmann’s Maximum Enlargement Theorem, from which can be deduced the classical theory of idempotent-pure inverse semigroup homomorphisms and $E$-unitary inverse semigroups.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20M18; 20L05; 20M17

In this paper we consider finite generation and finite presentability of Rees matrix semigroups (with or without zero) over arbitrary semigroups. The main result states that a Rees matrix semigroup M[S; I, J; P] is finitely generated (respectively, finitely presented) if and only if S is finitely generated (respectively, finitely presented), and the sets I, J and S\U are finite, where U is the ideal of S generated by the entries of P.

The first author obtained a generalization of Preston-Vagner Representation Theorem for generalized inverse *-semigroups. In this paper, we shall generalize their results for locally inverse *-semigroups. Firstly, by introducing a concept of a π-set (which is slightly different from the one in [7]), we shall construct the π-symmetric locally inverse *-semigroup on a π-set, and show that any locally inverse *-semigroup can be embedded up to *-isomorphism in the π-symmetric locally inverse semigroup on a π-set. Moreover, we shall obtain that the wreath product of locally inverse *-semigroups is also a locally inverse *-semigroup.

AbstractIn a recent paper of the author the well-known Vagner-Preston Theorem on inverse semigroups was generalized to include a wider class of semigroups, namely right normal right inverse semigroups. In an attempt to generalize the theorem to include all right inverse semigroups, the notion of μ – μi transformations is introduced in the present paper. It is possible to construct a right inverse band BM(X) of μ – μi transformations. From this a set AM(X) for which left and right units are in BM(X) and satisfying certain conditions is constructed. The semigroup AM(X) so constructed is a right inverse semigroup. Conversely every right inverse semigroup can be isomorphically embedded in a right inverse semigroup constructed in this way.1980 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.): 20 M 20.

For a completely 0-simple semigroup, Howie [2] has investigated the subsemigroup generated by the idempotents. Here we determine those elements of such a semigroup which are generated by the set of nilpotent elements and hence we derive a condition for a completely 0-simple semigroup to be nilpotent generated. This condition is purely combinatorial, in terms of the structure of the graph associated with the semigroup, and it includes the case of a non-regular Rees matrix semigroup.
