Abstract

Abstract If CS (respectively, O ) denotes the class of all completely simple semigroups (respectively, semigroups that are orthodox unions of groups) then CS (respectively, O ) is a variety of algebras with respect to the operations of multiplication and inversion. The main result shows that the lattice of subvarieties of is a precisely determined subdirect product of the lattice of subvarieties of CS and the lattice of subvarieties of O . A basis of identities is obtained for any variety in terms of bases of identities for . Several operators on the lattice of subvarieties of are also introduced and studied.
