Right simple congruences on a semigroup

Francis Masat

Vol. 54 (1974), No. 2, 127–142
Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate necessary and sufficient conditions on an algebraic semigroup in order that it have non-trivial right simple homomorphic images. Relative to this, the relation between the structure of S and the structure of its right simple homomorphs is characterized.

The main questions considered are:

(1) What characterizes a right simple (right group) conyuence on a semigroup?

(2) Can the conditions found for question (1) be made minimal in order that a maximum right simple homomorph occurs?
