SynopsisAn idempotent-separating congruence μ is studied further in this paper. It is shown to satisfy special properties with respect to regular elements and to group-bound elements. It is shown that for any semigroup S, μ is the identity congruence on S/μ. From this, it can be shown that S/μ is fundamental for any semigroup S. Some alternative characterizations of μ are given and applied to yield sufficient conditions for a subsemigroup T of S to satisfy μ (T) = μ (S) ∩ (T × T), whence T is fundamental if S is fundamental.
