A Structure Theorem of Regular ${\cal H}^\sharp$-Cryptographs
Xiangzhi Kong, Zhiling Yuan, K. P. Shum · Algebra Colloquium · 2008
A new set of generalized Green relations is given in studying the [Formula: see text]-abundant semigroups. By using the generalized strong semilattice of semigroups recently developed by the authors, we show that an [Formula: see text]-abundant semigroup is a regular [Formula: see text]-cryptograph if and only if it is an [Formula: see text]-strong semilattice of completely [Formula: see text]-simple semigroups. This result not only extends the well known result of Petrich and Reilly from the class of completely regular semigroups to the class of semiabundant semigroups, but also generalizes a well known result of Fountain on superabundant semigroups from the class of abundant semigroups to the class of semiabundant semigroups.
