Construction of a R-strongly unit regular monoid from a regular biordered set and a group. (Q2892242)

A monoid \(S\) is unit regular if for each element \(s\) in \(S\) there exists an element \(u\) in \(G\), the group of units of \(S\), such that \(s=sus\). The relation \(R_G\) is defined on \(S\) by \(xR_Gy\) if and only if \(x=yu\) for some unit \(u\) in \(G\), with \(L_G\) being defined dually. We say that a unit regular monoid \(S\) is R-strongly unit regular if \(R_G\) coincides with the standard Green's relation \(\mathcal R\) on \(S\).NEWLINENEWLINE This is a substantial paper where the relations between the biordered set of idempotents and the group of units in unit regular semigroups are investigated. In particular, starting from a regular biordered set \(E\) and a group \(G\) the authors construct an R-strongly unit regular semigroup \(S\) for which the set of idempotents \(E(S)\) is isomorphic to \(E\) as a biordered set and the group of units \(G(S)\) is isomorphic to \(G\). The additional conditions to be satisfied by \(G\) and by \(E\) are also listed. Concrete examples illustrating the constructions are given throughout.
