A block-group is a semigroup whose elements have at most one inverse. For a finite block-group \(S\) the minimal \(n\) such that there exists an idempotent-separating homomorphism from \(S\) into the monoid of partial transformations of a set with \(n\) elements is equal to the number of join irreducibile idempotents of \(S\).
