\(\Gamma\)-group congruences on regular \(\Gamma\)-semigroups (Q1186336)

A \(\Gamma\)-semigroup \(S\) is called regular \(\Gamma\)-semigroup if for any \(a\in S\) there exist \(a'\in S\), \(\alpha,\beta\in\Gamma\) such that \(a=a\alpha a'\beta a\). A congruence \(\rho\) on a regular \(\Gamma\)-semigroup \(S\) is called \(\Gamma\)-group congruence whenever \(S/\rho\) is a \(\Gamma\)-group. The paper contains several descriptions of \(\Gamma\)-group congruences on a regular \(\Gamma\)-semigroup. The least \(\Gamma\)-group congruence on a regular \(\Gamma\)-semigroup is characterized.
