Abstract

A subsemigroup S of a completely regular semigroup Q is an order in Q if every element of Q can be written as a(#)b and as cd(#) where a, b, c,d is an element of S and x(#) is the inverse of x is an element of Q in ri subgroup of e. If only the first condition holds and one insists also that a R b in e, then S is said to be a straight left order in e. This paper characterizes those semigroups that are straight left orders in completely regular semigroups. A consequence of this result, together with some technicalities concerning lifting of morphisms, is a description of orders in completely regular semigroups. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20 M 10.
