On Epiorthodox Semigroups

الملخص EN

It has been well known that the band of idempotents of a naturally ordered orthodox semigroup satisfying the “strong Dubreil-Jacotin condition” forms a normal band.

In the literature, the naturally ordered orthodox semigroups satisfying the strong Dubreil-Jacotin condition were first considered by Blyth and Almeida Santos in 1992.

Based on the name “epigroup” in the paper of Blyth and Almeida Santos and also the name “epigroups” proposed by Shevrin in 1955; we now call the naturally ordered orthodox semigroups satisfying the Dubreil-Jacotin condition the epiorthodox semigroups.

Because the structure of this kind of orthodox semigroups has not yet been described, we therefore give a structure theorem for the epi-orthodox semigroups.
