Extract

It is well known that, with respect to the natural partial ordering, the set of all congruences on a group forms a modular lattice. In the present paper we develop an extension of this result to the case of a regular semigroup S (α ∈ αSα for all α in S). Let Σ(ℋ) denote the set of all congruences on S with the property that congruent elements generate the same principal left ideal and the same principal right ideal of S. We show (Theorem 1) that, under the natural partial ordering, Σ(ℋ) is a modular lattice with a greatest and a least element.
