Abundant Left C-lpp Proper Semigroups

The aim of this paper is to study a class of left abundant semigroups, so-called abundant left C-lpp proper semigroups including left type A proper semigroups and right inverse proper semigroups as its subclasses. A structure theorem similar to McAlisters for inverse proper semigroups is obtained. As its application, it is verified that any abundant left C-lpp proper semigroup can be embedded into a semidirect product of a left regular band by a cancellative monoid.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 20M10Suppoted by the Foundation of Yunnan University and also by the Director Foundation of Yunnan Province.
