Embedding locally inverse semigroups into Rees matrix semigroups (Q1611022)

The main result of this paper is that a locally inverse semigroup \(S\) can be embedded in a Rees matrix semigroup \(M(T;I;\Lambda;P)\) over a generalized inverse semigroup \(T\) if and only if \(S\) is a rectangular band \(I\times\Lambda\) of semigroups \(S_{i\lambda}\) such that, for all \((i,\lambda)\) in \(I\times\Lambda\) and idempotents \(e,f\) in \(S_{i\lambda}\) and members \(s,t\) in \(S\), the equality \(seft=sfet\) holds.
