Structure of Regular Semigroups
This paper concerned with basic concepts and some results on (idempotent) semigroup satisfying the identities of three variables. The motivation of taking three for the number of variables has come from the fact that many important identities on idempotent semigroups are written by three or fewer independent variables. We consider the semigroup satisfying the property abc = ac and prove that it is left semi-normal and right quasi-normal. Again an idempotent semigroup with an identity aba = ab and aba = ba (ab = a, ab = b) is always a semilattices and normal. An idempotent semigroup is normal if and only if it is both left quasi-normal and right quasi-normal. If a semigroup is rectangular then it is left and right semi-regular.
