An inverse semigroup S is factorizable if it can be written as a product of a semilattice and a group; more generally, S is combinatorially factorizable if it is the product of a combinatorial semigroup and a group. In this paper we explore combinatorially factorizable monoids S on which H is a congruence. Such semigroups will be characterized as certain idempotent-separating extensions of a factorizable Clifford semigroup by a combinatorial semigroup. Necessary and sufficient conditions will be given for S to be a direct product of a combinatorial semigroup and a group. We also give a means to construct all combinatorially factorizable submonoids of any inverse monoid on which H is a congruence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
