Abstract :

This paper is a continuation of a previous paper [6] in which the structure of certain unit regular semigroups called R-strongly unit regular monoids has been studied. A monoid S is said to be unit regular if for each element s  S there exists an element u in the group of units G of S such that s = sus. Hence 1 s  suu where su is an idempotent and 1 u is a unit. A unit regular monoid S is said to be a unit regular inverse monoid if the set of idempotents of S form a semilattice. Since inverse monoids are R unipotent, every element of a unit regular inverse monoid can be written as s = eu where the idempotent part e is unique and u is a unit. Here we give a detailed study of inverse unit regular monoids and the results are mainly based on [10]. The relations between the semilattice of idempotents and the group of units in unit regular inverse monoids are better identified in this case
