[For the entire collection see Zbl 0718.00006.] Let \(S\) be a semigroup. We say that \(a{\mathcal L}^*b\) (or \(a{\mathcal R}^*b\)) for \(a,b\in S\) if there exists an oversemigroup \(T\) of \(S\) such that \(a{\mathcal L}b\) (or \(a{\mathcal R}b\)) in \(T\). A semigroup \(S\) is called abundant if each \({\mathcal L}^*\)-class and each \({\mathcal R}^*\)-class contains an idempotent. An abundant semigroup is said to be adequate if its idempotents commute. The translational hull of primitive abundant and adequate semigroups are characterized. The paper is only an extended abstract, the proofs are omitted.
