Synopsis

A general theory for a class of abundant semigroups is developed. For a semigroup S in this class let E be its set of idempotents and <E> the subsemigroup of S generated by E. When <E> is regular there is a homomorphism with a number of desirable properties from S onto a full subsemigroup of the Hall semigroup T<E>. From this fact, analogues of results in the regular case are obtained for *-simple and ℐ*-simple abundant semigroups.
