Free Semilattice

SynopsisA subset Y of a free completely regular semigroup FCRx freely generates a free completely regular subsemigroup if and only if (i) each -class of FCRx contains at most one element of Y, (ii) {Dy;y ∊ Y} freely generates a free subsemilattice of the free semilattice FCRx/), and (iii) Y consists of non-idempotents. A similar description applies in free objects of some subvarieties of the variety of all completely regular semigroups.

Completely Regular Semigroups

A completely regular semigroup is a semigroup that is a union of groups. The aim here is to provide an alternative characterization of the free completely regular semigroup Fcrx on a set X to that given by J. A. Gerhard in [3, 4].Although the structure theory for completely regular semigroups was initiated in 1941 [1] by A. H. Clifford it was not until 1968 that it was shown by D. B. McAlister [5] that Fcrx exists. More recently, in [7], M. Petrich demonstrated the existence of Fcrx by showing that completely regular semigroups form a variety of unary semigroups (that is, semigroups with the additional operation of inversion).

AbstractA completely regular semigroup is a semigroup which is a union of groups. The class CR of completely regular semigroups forms a variety. On the lattice L (CR) of completely regular semigroup varieties we define two closure operations which induce complete congruences. The consideration of a third complete congruence on L (CR) yields a subdirect decomposition of L (CR). Using these results we show that L (CR) is arguesian. This confirms the (tacit) conjecture that L (CR) is modular.

A semigroup endowed with a unary operation satisfying the identitiesis a completely regular semigroup. In several recent papers devoted to the study of the lattice of subvarieties of the variety of completely regular semigroups, various results have been obtained which decompose special intervals in into either direct products or subdirect products. Petrich [14], Hall and Jones [6] and Rasin [20] have shown that certain intervals of the form , where is the trivial variety and are subdirect products of and Pastijn and Trotter [13] show that certain intervals of the form are direct products of the intervals and The main objective of this paper is to develop an appropriate lattice theoretic framework for these representations.

Let S be a regular semigroup and be its congruence lattice. For ρ ∈ , we consider the sublattice Lρ of generated by the congruences pw where w ∈ {K, k, T, t}* and w has no subword of the form KT, TK, kt, tk. Here K, k, T, t are the operators on induced by the kernel and the trace relations on . We find explicitly the least lattice L whose homomorphic image is Lρ for all ρ ∈ and represent it as a distributive lattice in terms of generators and relations. We also consider special cases: bands of groups, E-unitary regular semigroups, completely simple semigroups, rectangular groups as well as varieties of completely regular semigroups.

The Relationship

Any semigroup S can be embedded into a semigroup, denoted by ΨS, having some remarkable properties. For general semigroups there is a close relationship between local submonoids of S and of ΨS. For a number of usual semigroup properties [Formula: see text], we prove that S and ΨS simultaneously satisfy [Formula: see text] or not. For a regular semigroup S, the relationship of S and ΨS is even closer, especially regarding the natural partial order and Green's relations; in addition, every element of ΨS is a product of at most four idempotents. For completely regular semigroups S, the relationship of S and ΨS is still closer. On the lattice [Formula: see text] of varieties of completely regular semigroups [Formula: see text] regarded as algebras with multiplication and inversion, by means of ΨS, we define an operator, denoted by Ψ. We compare Ψ with some of the standard operators on [Formula: see text] and evaluate it on a small sublattice of [Formula: see text].
