Abstract

In this paper, firstly it is shown that a regular semigroup S becomes a regular *-semigroup (in the sense of [1]) if and only if S has a certain subset called a p-system. Secondly, all the normal *-bands are completely described in terms of rectangular *-bands (square bands) and transitive systems of homomorphisms of rectangular *-bands. Further, it is shown that an orthodox semigroup S becomes a regular *-semigroup if there is a p-system F of the band ES of idempotents of S such that F∋e, ES∋t, e≥t imply t∈F. By using this result, it is also shown that F is a p-system of a generalized inverse semigroup S if and only if F is a p-system of FS.
