Abstract
Our aim is to investigate the properties and structure of the ℘-regular semigroups having regular *-transversals. We first give two kinds of definitions for regular *-transversals and prove that they are equivalent. A condition for two regular *-transversals of a ℘-regular semigroup to be isomorphic is given. The *-congruences on the ℘-regular semigroups having regular *-transversals are characterized by using the *-congruence triples. In particular, we describe the idempotent separating congruences and the group congruences on such ℘-regular semigroups.
