It is well known that the lattice Λ(S) of congruences on a regular semigroup S contains certain fundamental congruences. For example there is always a minimum band congruence β, which Spitznagel has used in his study of the lattice of congruences on a band of groups [16]. Of key importance to his investigation is the fact that β separates congruences on a band of groups in the sense that two congruences are the same if they have the same meet and join with β. This result enabled him to characterize θ-modular bands of groups as precisely those bands of groups for which ρ⃗(ρ∨β, ρ∧β)is an embedding of Λ(S) into a product of sublattices.

C. Eberhart and W. Williams [3] showed that the least inverse semigroup congruence , on an orthodox semigroup S, plays a very important role in determining the structure of the lattice of congruences on S. In this note we show that their results can be applied to give an explicit construction for the idempotent separating congruences on S in terms of idempotent separating congruences on S/.

SynopsisThe existence of a smallest inverse congruence on an orthodox semigroup is known. It is also known that a regular semigroup S is locally inverse and orthodox if and only if there exists a local isomorphism from S onto an inverse semigroup T.In this paper, we show the existence of a smallest R-unipotent congruence ρ on an orthodox semigroup S and give its expression in the case where S is also left quasinormal. Finally, we prove that a regular semigroup S is left quasinormal and orthodox if and only if there exists a local isomorphism from S onto an R-unipotent semigroup T.

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.

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

We describe two congruences α and γ contained in ℒ on an arbitrary orthodox semigroup. Let S be a right unipotent semigroup. We show that (i) α is an inverse semigroup congruence and γ is the finest fundamental inverse semigroup congruence on S, (ii) S is a union of groups if and only if ℒ on S and (iii) S is a band of groups if and only if ℒ on S.

This paper deals with some results on commutative semigroups. We consider (s,.) is externally commutative right zero semigroup is regular if it is intra regular and (s,.) is externally commutative semigroup then every inverse semigroup  is u – inverse semigroup. We will also prove that if (S,.) is a H -  semigroup then weakly cancellative laws hold in H - semigroup. In one case we will take (S,.) is commutative left regular semi group and we will prove that (S,.) is ∏ - inverse semigroup. We will also consider (S,.) is commutative weakly balanced semigroup  and then prove every left (right) regular semigroup is weakly separate, quasi separate and separate. Additionally, if (S,.) is completely regular semigroup we will prove that (S,.) is permutable and weakly separtive. One a conclusing note we will show and prove some theorems related to permutable semigroups and GC commutative Semigroups.

AbstractA natural equivalence θ on the lattice of congruences λ(S) of a semigroup S is studied. For any eventually regular semigroup S, it is shown that θ is a congruence, each θ-class is a complete sublattice of λ(S) and the maximum element in each θ-class is determined. 1980 Mathematics subject classification (Amer.

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.
