Abstract

We use syntactical methods (fully invariant stable quasiorders) to study varieties of ordered semigroups. We prove that the lattice of all varieties of semigroups is embedded into the lattice of all varieties of ordered semigroups. The lattice of all varieties of ordered bands is completely described.
