The set E of idemponents of a semigroup S can be partially ordered by defining e ≦f and only if ef = fe = e (e,f ∈ E). If E = {ei: i = i = 0,1…} and under this ordering e0 > e1 > e2… then we call S an ω-semigroup. Munn [10] has given a complete classification of simple regular ω-semigroups in terms of groups and group homomorphisms. Let ∧0(S) denote the set of congruences on a simple regular w-semigroup S consisting of those congruences which either are idempotent-separating or are group congruences on S. It is evident that ∧0(S) is a sublattice of the lattice of all congruences on S.
