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.

An eventually regular semigroup is a semigroup in which some power of any element is regular. The minimum group congruence on an eventually regular semigroup is investigated by means of weak inverse. Furthermore, some properties of the minimum group congruence on an eventually regular semigroup are characterized.

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.

The kernel–trace approach to congruences on a regular semigroup S can be refined by introducing the left and right traces. This induces eight operators on the lattice of congruences on S: t1, k, tr,; Tt, K, Tr; t, T. We describe the lattice of congruences on S generated by six 3-element subsets of the set {ωt1, ωk, ωtr, εTt, εK, εTr} where ω and ε denote the universal and the equality relations. This is effected by means of a diagram and in terms of generators and relations on a free distributive lattice, or a homomorphic image thereof. We perform the same analysis for the lattice of congruences on S generated by the set {εK, ωk, εT, ωt}.

A result of Reilly and Scheiblich for inverse semigroups is proved true also for regular semigroups. For any regular semigroup S the relation θ is defined on the lattice, Λ(S), of congruences on S by: (ρ, τ) ∈ θ if ρ and τ induce the same partition of the idempotents of S. Then θ is a congruence on Λ(S), Λ(S)/θ is complete and the natural homomorphism of Λ(S) onto Λ(S)/θ is a complete lattice homomorphism.

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 characterization is provided here for any normal partition of the set of idempotents of a regular semigroup S. As a by-product of the method used, a new characterization of the greatest congruence on S corresponding to a given normal partition of its idempotents is obtained.Subject classification (Amer. Math.

AbstractA semigroup is eventually regular if each of its elements has some power that is regular. Let 𝓚 be one of Green's relations and let ρ be a congruence on an eventually regular semigroup S. It is shown for 𝓚 = 𝓛, 𝓡 and 𝓓 that if A and B are regular elements of S/ρ that are 𝓚-related in S/ρ then there exist elements a ∈ A, b ∈ B such that a and b are 𝓚-related in S. The result is not true for 𝓗 or 𝓙.

G. Lallement [4] has shown that the lattice of congruences, Λ(S), on a completely 0-simple semigroupSis semimodular, thus improving G. B. Preston's result [5] that such a lattice satisfies the Jordan-Dedekind chain condition. More recently, J. M. Howie [2] has given a new and more simple proof of Lallement's result using work due to Tamura [9]. The purpose of this note is to extend the semimodularity result to primitive regular semigroups, to establish a theorem relating certain congruence and quotient lattices, and to provide a theorem for congruences on any regular semigroup.

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.

SynopsisA regular semigroup S is called V-regular if for any elements a, b ∈ S and any inverse (ab)′ of ab, there exists an inverse a′ of a and an inverse b′ of b such that (ab)′ = b′a′. A characterization of a V-regular semigroup is given in terms of its partial band of idempotents. The strongly V-regular semigroups form a subclass of the class of V-regular semigroups which may be characterized in terms of their biordered set of idempotents. It is shown that the class of strongly V-regular semigroups comprises the elementary rectangular bands of inverse semigroups (including the completely simple semigroups), a special class of orthodox semigroups (including the inverse semigroups), the strongly regular Baer semigroups (including the semigroups that are the multiplicative semigroup of a von Neumann regular ring), the full transformation semigroup on a set, and the semigroup of all partial transformations on a set.
