On nilpotency and residual finiteness in semigroups

Gérard Lallement

Vol. 42 (1972), No. 3, 693–700
Abstract

It is proved that the class 𝒞 of regular nilpotent semigroups coincides with the class of semilattices of nilpotent groups. Consequently, finitely generated semigroups in the class 𝒞 are residually finite. The same results are true for semisimple 2-nilpotent semigroups.
