It has been well known that the band of idempotents of a naturally ordered orthodox semigroup satisfying the “strong Dubreil-Jacotin condition” forms a normal band. In the literature, the naturally ordered orthodox semigroups satisfying the strong Dubreil-Jacotin condition were first considered by Blyth and Almeida Santos in 1992. Based on the name “epigroup” in the paper of Blyth and Almeida Santos and also the name “epigroups” proposed by Shevrin in 1955; we now call the naturally ordered orthodox semigroups satisfying the Dubreil-Jacotin condition theepiorthodox semigroups. Because the structure of this kind of orthodox semigroups has not yet been described, we therefore give a structure theorem for the epi-orthodox semigroups.

AbstractIn any regular semigroup with an orthodox transversal, we define two sets R and L using Green’s relations and give necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be subsemigroups. By using R and L, some equivalent conditions for an orthodox transversal to be a quasi-ideal are obtained. Finally, we give a structure theorem for regular semigroups with quasi-ideal orthodox transversals by two orthodox semigroups R and L.

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/.

A unit regular semigroup [1, 4] is a regular monoid S such that H1 ∩ A(x) ≠ Ø for every xɛS, where H1, is the group of units and A(x) = {y ɛ S; xyx = x} is the set of associates (or pre-inverses) of x. A uniquely unit regular semigroupis a regular monoid 5 such that |H1 ∩ A(x)| = 1. Here we shall consider a more general situation. Specifically, we consider a regular semigroup S and a subsemigroup T with the property that |T ∩ A(x) = 1 for every x ɛ S. We show that T is necessarily a maximal subgroup Hα for some idempotent α. When Sis orthodox, α is necessarily medial (in the sense that x = xαx for every x ɛ 〈E〉) and αSα is uniquely unit orthodox. When S is orthodox and α is a middle unit (in the sense that xαy = xy for all x, y ɛ S), we obtain a structure theorem which generalises the description given in [2] for uniquely unit orthodox semigroups in terms of a semi-direct product of a band with a identity and a group.

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 this paper we prove that each orthodox semigroup S has an E-unitary cover embeddable into a semidirect product of a band B by a group where B belongs to the band variety generated by the band of idempotents in S. This result is related to an embeddability question on E-unitary regular semigroups raised previously.

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.

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.

It is shown that the set of all orthodox subsemigroups of an orthodox semigroup forms a lattice. This lattice is a join-sublattice of the lattice of all semigroups, but is not in general a meet-sublattice. We obtain results concerning lattice isomorphisms between orthodox semigroups, several of which include known results for inverse semigroups as special cases.

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.

If Sis a regular semigroup then an inverse transversal of S is an inverse subsemigroup T with the property that |T ∩ V(x)| = 1 for every x ∈ S where V(x) denotes the set of inverses of x ∈ S. In a previous publication [1] we considered the similar concept of a subsemigroup T of S such that |T ∩ A(x)| = 1 for every x ∩ S where A(x) = {y∈ S;xyx = x} denotes the set of associates (or pre-inverses) of x ∈ S, and showed that such a subsemigroup T is necessarily a maximal subgroup Ha for some idempotent α ∈ S. Throughout what follows, we shall assume that S is orthodox and α is a middle unit (in the sense that xαy = xy for all x, y ∈ S). Under these assumptions, we obtained in [1] a structure theorem which generalises that given in [3] for uniquely unit orthodox semigroups. Adopting the notation of [1], we let T ∩ A(x) = {x*} and write the subgroup T as Hα = {x*;x ∈ S}, which we call an associate subgroup of S. For every x ∈ S we therefore have x*α = x* = αx* and x*x** = α = x**x*. As shown in [1, Theorems 4, 5] we also have (xy)* = y*x* for all x, y ∈ S, and e* = α for every idempotent e.
