Let S be an inverse semigroup with semilattice of idempotents E, and let ρ be a congruence on S. Then ρ is said to be idempotent-determined [2], or I.D. for short, if (a, b) ∈ р and a∈E imply that b ∈ E. If, further, ρ is a group congruence, then clearly ρ is the minimum group congruence on S, and in this case S is said to be proper [8]. Let T = S/ρ.

This paper is concerned mainly with the structure of inverse semigroups which have a partial ordering defined on them in addition to their natural partial ordering. However, we include some results on partially ordered semigroups which are of interest in themselves. Some recent information [1, 2, 6, 7,11] has been obtained about the algebraic structure of partially ordered semigroups, and we add here to the list by showing in Section 1 that every regular integrally closed semigroup is an inverse semigroup. In fact it is a proper inverse semigroup [10], that is, one in which the idempotents form a complete class modulo the minimum group congruence, and the structure of these semigroups is explicitly known [5].

Let S be an inverse semigroup with semilattice of idempotents E. We denote by σ the minimum group congruence on S (6), and by τ the maximum idempotent-determined congruence on S (2). (Recall that the congruence η on S is called idempotent-determined if (e, x)∈ η and e ∈ E imply that x ∈ E.) In general τ ⊆ σ.

The S-rank (where ‘S’ abbreviates ‘sandwich’) of a right congruence ρ on a semigroup S is the Cantor-Bendixson rank of ρ in the lattice of right congruences ℛ of S with respect to a topology we call the finite type topology. If every ρ ϵ ℛ possesses S-rank, then S is ranked. It is known that every right Noetherian semigroup is ranked and every ranked inverse semigroup is weakly right Noetherian. Moreover, if S is ranked, then so is every maximal subgroup of S. We show that a Brandt semigroup 0(G, I) is ranked if and only if G is ranked and I is finite.We establish a correspondence between the lattice of congruences on a chain E, and the lattice of right congruences contained within the least group congruence on any inverse semigroup S with semilattice of idempotents E(S) ≅ E. Consequently we argue that the (inverse) bicyclic monoid B is not ranked; moreover, a ranked semigroup cannot contain a bicyclic -class. On the other hand, B is weakly right Noetherian, and possesses trivial (hence ranked) subgroups.Our notion of rank arose from considering stability properties of the theory Ts of existentially closed (right) S-sets over a right coherent monoid S. The property of right coherence guarantees that the existentially closed S-sets form an axiomatisable class. We argue that B is right coherent. As a consequence, it follows from known results that TB is a theory of B-sets that is superstable but not totally transcendental.

Orthodox Semigroups

Let V be a variety of regular orthogroups, i.e. completely regular orthodox semigroups whose band of idempotents is regular. Let S be an orthodox semigroup which is a (normal) extension of an orthogroup K from V by an inverse semigroup G, that is, there is a congruence ρ on S such that the semigroup ker ρ of all idempotent related elements of S is isomorphic to K and S/ρ≅G. It is shown that S can be embedded into an orthodox subsemigroup T of a double semidirect product A**G where A belongs to V. Moreover T itself can be chosen to be an extension of a member from V by G. If in addition ρ is a group congruence we obtain a recent result due to M.B. Szendrei [16] which says that each orthodox semigroup which is an extension of a regular orthogroup K by a group G can be embedded into a semidirect product of an orthogroup K′ by G where K′ belongs to the variety of orthogroups generated by K.

Matrix 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.

Lattice Of Congruences

In recent developments in the algebraic theory of semigroups attention has been focussing increasingly on the study of congruences, in particular on lattice-theoretic properties of the lattice of congruences. In most cases it has been found advantageous to impose some restriction on the type of semigroup considered, such as regularity, commutativity, or the property of being an inverse semigroup, and one of the principal tools has been the consideration of special congruences. For example, the minimum group congruence on an inverse semigroup has been studied by Vagner [21] and Munn [13], the maximum idempotent-separating congruence on a regular or inverse semigroup by the authors separately [9, 10] and by Munn [14], and the minimum semilattice congruence on a general or commutative semigroup by Tamura and Kimura [19], Yamada [22], Clifford [3] and Petrich [15]. In this paper we study regular semigroups and our primary concern is with the minimum group congruence, the minimum band congruence and the minimum semilattice congruence, which we shall consistently denote by α β and η respectively.

An inverse semigroup R is said to be reduced (or proper) if ℛ∩σ= i (where σ is the minimum group congruence on R). McAlister has shown ([3], [4]) that every reduced inverse semigroup is isomorphic with a “P-semigroup” P(G, , ), for some semilattice , poset containing as an ideal, and group G acting on by order-automorphisms; (and, conversely, every P-semigroup is reduced). In [4], he also found the morphisms between P-semigroups, in terms of morphisms between the respective groups, and between the respective posets.

An algebra has the Howson property if the intersection of any two finitely generated subalgebras is again finitely generated. A simple necessary and sufficient condition is given for the Howson property to hold on an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents. In addition, it is shown that any monogenic inverse semigroup has the Howson property.

The natural order of an inverse semigroup defined by a ≤ b ⇔ a′b = a′a has turned out to be of great importance in describing the structure of it. In this paper an order-theoretical point of view is adopted to characterise inverse semigroups. A complete description is given according to the type of partial order an arbitrary inverse semigroup S can possibly admit: a least element of (S, ≤) is shown to be the zero of (S, ·); the existence of a greatest element is equivalent to the fact, that (S, ·) is a semilattice; (S, ≤) is directed downwards, if and only if S admits only the trivial group-homomorphic image; (S, ≤) is totally ordered, if and only if for all a, b ∈ S, either ab = ba = a or ab = ba = b; a finite inverse semigroup is a lattice, if and only if it admits a greatest element. Finally formulas concerning the inverse of a supremum or an infimum, if it exists, are derived, and right-distributivity and left-distributivity of multiplication with respect to union and intersection are shown to be equivalent.

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
