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.

We prove that if the “type-II-construct” subsemigroup of a finite semigroup S is regular, then the “type-II” subsemigroup of S is computable (actually in this case, type-II and type-II-construct are equal). This, together with certain older results about pseudo-varieties of finite semigroups, leads to further results:(1) We get a new proof of Ash's theorem: If the idempotents in a finite semigroup S commute, then S divides a finite inverse semigroup. Equivalently: The pseudo-variety generated by the finite inverse semigroups consists of those finite semigroups whose idempotents commute.(2) We prove: If the idempotents of a finite semigroup S form a subsemigroup then S divides a finite orthodox semigroup. Equivalently: The pseudo-variety generated by the finite orthodox semigroups consists of those finite semigroups whose idempotents form a subsemigroup.(3) We prove: The union of all the subgroups of a semigroup S forms a subsemigroup if and only if 5 belongs to the pseudo-variety u * G if and only if Sn belongs to u. Here u denotes the pseudo-variety of finite semigroups which are unions of groups.For these three classes of semigroups, type-II is equal to type-II construct.

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.

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.

For brevity the semigroups in the title are called orthodox semigroups. The finest inverse semigroup congruence on an orthodox semigroup is shown to have a simple form and conversely, regular semigroups whose finest inverse congruence has this simple form are shown to be orthodox. Next ideal extensions of orthodox semigroups by orthodox semigroups are shown to be also orthodox, whence a finite semigroup is orthodox if and only if each principal factor is orthodox and completely O-simple or simple. Finally it is determined which completely O-simple semigroups are orthodox.

An orthodox semigroup S is termed quasi-F-orthodox if the greatest inverse semigroup homomorphic image of S1 is F-inverse. In this paper we show that each quasi-F-orthodox semigroup is embeddable into a semidirect product of a band by a group. Furthermore, we present a subclass in the class of quasi-F-orthodox semigroups whose members S are embeddable into a semidirect product of a band B by a group in such a way that B belongs to the band variety generated by the band of idempotents in S. In particular, this subclass contains the F-orthodox semigroups and the idempotent pure homomorphic images of the bifree orthodox semigroups.

Piochi in [10] gives a description of the least commutative congruence γ of an inverse semigroup in terms of congruence pairs and generalizes to inverse semigroups the notion of solvability. The object of this paper is to give an explicit construction of λ for simple regular ω-semigroups exploiting the work of Baird on congruences on such semigroups. Moreover the connection between the solvability classes of simple regular ω-semigroups and those of their subgroups is studied.

The joins in the title are considered within two contexts: (I) the lattice of varieties of regular unary semigroups, and (II) the lattice of e-varieties (or bivarieties) of orthodox semigroups. It is shown that in each case the set of all such joins forms a proper sublattice of the respective join of the variety I of all inverse semigroups and the variety B of all bands; each member V of this sublattice is determined by V ∩ I and V ∩ B. All subvarieties of the join of I with the variety RB of regular bands are so determined. However, there exist uncountably many subvarieties (or sub-bivarieties) of the join I ∨ B, all of which contain I and all of whose bands are regular.

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.
