Abstract

In this paper we characterize semigroups S which have a semigroup Q of left quotients, where Q is an ℛ-unipotent semigroup which is a band of groups. Recall that an ℛ-unipotent (or left inverse) semigroup S is one in which every ℛ-class contains a unique idempotent. It is well-known that any ℛ-unipotent semigroup 5 is a regular semigroup in which the set of idempotents is a left regular band in that efe = ef for any idempotents e, fin S. ℛ-unipotent semigroups were studied by several authors, see for example [1] and [13].Bailes [1]characterized ℛ-unipotent semigroups which are bands of groups. This characterization extended the structure of inverse semigroups which are semilattices of groups. Recently, Gould studied in [7]the semigroup S which has a semigroup Q of left quotients where Q is an inverse semigroup which is a semilattice of groups.
