# E-INVERSIVE *-SEMIGROUPS

• Published : 2012.10.31

#### Abstract

(S, *) is a semigroup S equipped with a unary operation "*". This work is devoted to a class of unary semigroups, namely E-$inversive$ *-$semigroups$. A unary semigroup (S, *) is called an E-inversive *-semigroup if the following identities hold: $$x^*xx^*=x^*$$, $$(x^*)^*=xx^*x$$, $$(xy)^*=y^*x^*$$. In this paper, E-inversive *-semigroups are characterized by several methods. Furthermore, congruences on these semigroups are also studied.
