Abstract
An ordered pair (e, f) of idempotents of a regular semigroup is called a skew pair if ef is not idempotent whereas fe is idempotent. We have shown previously that there are four distinct types of skew pairs of idempotents. Here we consider the smallest regular semigroups that contain precisely one of each of these four types. We show that, to within isomorphism and dualisomorphism, there are six such semigroups and characterise them as quotient semigroups of certain regular Rees matrix semigroups.
