On right unipotent semigroups II

Abstract

We describe two congruences α and γ contained in ℒ on an arbitrary orthodox semigroup. Let S be a right unipotent semigroup. We show that (i) α is an inverse semigroup congruence and γ is the finest fundamental inverse semigroup congruence on S, (ii) S is a union of groups if and only if ℒ on S and (iii) S is a band of groups if and only if ℒ on S.
