Subsemigroups of completely simple semigroups

Anne Antonippillai and Francis Pastijn

Vol. 156 (1992), No. 2, 251–263
Abstract

A semigroup which is embeddable into a completely simple semigroup satisfies some weak cancellation laws (C). Conversely, if S is a semigroup which generates a variety which does not contain the variety of left regular bands nor the variety of right regular bands, then S is embeddable into a completely simple semigroup if it satisfies the laws (C). This result is used to characterize the subsemigroups of completely simple semigroups over nilpotent groups of class n.
