Abstract

Let S be a semiring whose additive reduct (S,+) is an inverse semigroup. The relations θ and k, induced by tr and ker (resp.), are congruences on the lattice C(S) of all congruences on S. For ρ ∈ C(S), we have introduced four congruences ρmin,ρmax,ρmin and ρmax on S and showed that ρθ=[ρmin,ρmax] and ρκ=[ρmin,ρmax]. Different properties of ρθ and ρκ have been considered here. A congruence ρ on S is a Clifford congruence if and only if ρmax is a distributive lattice congruence and ρmax is a skew-ring congruence on S. If η (σ) is the least distributive lattice (resp. skew-ring) congruence on S then η ∩ σ is the least Clifford congruence on S.
