Beyond Orthodox Semigroups

چکیده
We introduce the notions of a generalised category and of an inductive generalised category over a band. Our purpose is to describe a class of semigroups which we name weakly B-orthodox. In doing so we produce a new approach to characterising orthodox semigroups, by using inductive generalised groupoids. Here B denotes a band of idempotents; we note that if B is a semilattice then a weakly B-orthodox semigroup is exactly an Ehresmann semigroup. Weakly B-orthodox semigroups are analogues of orthodox semigroups, where the relations R̃B and L̃B play the role that R and L take in the regular case. We show that the category of weakly B-orthodox semigroups and admissible morphisms is isomorphic to the category of inductive generalised categories over bands and pseudo-functors. Our approach is influenced by Nambooripad’s work on the connection between biordered sets and regular semigroups. However, there are significant differences in strategy, the first being the introduction of generalised categories and the second being that it is more convenient to consider (generalised) categories equipped with pre-orders, rather than with partial orders. Our work may be regarded as extending a result of Lawson for Ehresmann semigroups.

On Epiorthodox Semigroups
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 S...
متن کاملRegular Semigroups with a S 0 − Orthodox Transversal
In this paper, we consider another generalization for quasi-ideal orthodox transversal, the so-called S0-orthodox transversals. We give a structure theorem for regular semigroups with S0-orthodox transversals. If S0 is a S0-orthodox transversal of S then S can be described in terms of S0.

متن کاملFundamental Semigroups Having a Band of Idempotents
The construction by Hall of a fundamental orthodox semigroup WB from a band B provides an important tool in the study of orthodox semigroups. We present here a semigroup SB that plays the role of WB for a class of semigroups having a band of idempotents B. Specifically, the semigroups we consider are weakly B-abundant and satisfy the congruence condition (C). Any orthodox semigroup S with E(S) ...
متن کاملExtensions of Regular Orthogroups by Groups
A common generalization of the author's embedding theorem concerning the £-unitary regular semigroups with regular band of idempotents, and Billhardt's and Ismaeel's embedding theorem on the inverse semigroups, the closure of whose set of idempotents is a Clifford semigroup, is presented. We prove that each orthodox semigroup with a regular band of idempotents, which is an extension of an ortho...
متن کاملSemigroups whose idempotents form a subsemigroup ∗
We prove that every semigroup S in which the idempotents form a sub-semigroup has an E-unitary cover with the same property. Furthermore, if S is E-dense or orthodox, then its cover can be chosen with the same property. Then we describe the structure of E-unitary dense semigroups. Our results generalize Fountain's results on semigroups in which the idempotents commute, and are analogous to thos...
