Abstract
In this paper we describe \({\mathcal {R}}\)-unipotent semigroups being regular extensions of a left regular band by an \(\mathcal {R}\)-unipotent semigroup T as certain subsemigroups of a wreath product of a left regular band by T. We obtain Szendrei’s result that each E-unitary \({\mathcal {R}}\)-unipotent semigroup is embeddable into a semidirect product of a left regular band by a group. Further, specialising the first author’s notion of \(\lambda \)-semidirect product of a semigroup by a locally \({\mathcal {R}}\)-unipotent semigroup, we provide an answer to an open question raised by the authors in [Extensions and covers for semigroups whose idempotents form a left regular band, Semigroup Forum 81 (2010), 51-70].
