A class of bisimple inverse semigroups

Semilattice of Bisimple Regular Semigroups

The main purpose of this paper is to show that a regular semigroup S is a semilattice of bisimple semigroups if and only if it is a band of bisimple semigroups and that this holds if and only if 3) is a congruence on S. It is also shown that a quasiregular semigroup 5 which is a rectangular band of bisimple semigroups is itself bisimple. In [3, Theorem 4.4] it was shown that a semigroup S is a ...

Semigroups of inverse quotients

We examine, in a general setting, a notion of inverse semigroup of left quotients, which we call left I-quotients. This concept has appeared, and has been used, as far back as Clifford’s seminal work describing bisimple inverse monoids in terms of their right unit subsemigroups. As a consequence of our approach, we find a straightforward way of extending Clifford’s work to bisimple inverse semi...

Expansions of Inverse Semigroups

We construct the freest idempotent-pure expansion of an inverse semigroup, generalizing an expansion of Margolis and Meakin for the group case. We also generalize the Birget-Rhodes prefix expansion to inverse semigroups with an application to partial actions of inverse semigroups. In the process of generalizing the latter expansion, we are led to a new class of idempotent-pure homomorphisms whi...

A graphical difference between the inverse and regular semigroups

In this paper we investigate the Green‎ ‎graphs for the regular and inverse semigroups by considering the‎ ‎Green classes of them‎. ‎And by using the properties of these‎ ‎semigroups‎, ‎we prove that all of the five Green graphs for the‎ ‎inverse semigroups are isomorphic complete graphs‎, ‎while this‎ ‎doesn't hold for the regular semigroups‎. ‎In other words‎, ‎we prove‎ ‎that in a regular se...
