Abstract

The celebrated construction by Munn of a fundamental inverse semigroup T-E from a semilattice E provides an important tool in the study of inverse semigroups. We present here a semigroup C-E that plays the T-E role for Ehresmann semigroups. Inverse semigroups are Ehresmann, as are those that are adequate, weakly ample or weakly hedged. We describe explicitly the semigroups C-E for some specific semilattices E and extract information relating to the corresponding classes of Ehresmann semigroups.
