Abstract

Let \(S\) be a semigroup and “\(*\)” a unary operation on \(S\) which satisfies the following identities

$$\begin{aligned} xx^*x=x, x^*x x^*=x^*, x^{***}=x^*, (xy^*)^*=y^{**}x^*, (x^*y)^*=y^*x^{**}. \end{aligned}$$

Then, \(S^*=\{x^*|x\in S\}\) is called a regular \(*\)-transversal of \(S\) in the literatures. Following Munn and Hall’s idea, in this paper we construct fundamental regular semigroups with quasi-ideal regular \(*\)-transversals by which fundamental representations of regular semigroups with quasi-ideal regular \(*\)-transversals are obtained.
