ON GENERALIZED ORTHOGROUPS

From MaRDI portal





In this paper a semigroup \(S\) is called quasi-regular if for each \(a\) in \(S\) there is some positive integer \(n\) and some \(x\) in \(S\) such that \(a^n=a^nxa^n\). If, in addition, all regular members of \(S\) are completely regular then \(S\) is called quasi-completely regular. Finally, a quasi-completely regular semigroup \(S\) is called a generalized orthogroup if the idempotents of \(S\) form a subsemigroup and the set of regular members of \(S\) forms an ideal of \(S\). A structure theorem is proved for generalized orthogroups that can be specialized to recover a standard characterization of orthogroups due to M. Petrich. A specific example of a finite generalized orthogroup is constructed.
