Abstract

The class 𝒞ℛ of completely regular semigroups considered with the unary operation of inversion within maximal subgroups forms a variety. The B-relation on the lattice ℒ(𝒞ℛ) of subvarieties of 𝒞ℛ identifies two varieties if they contain the same bands. Its classes are intervals with the set Δ of upper ends of these intervals. Canonical varieties form part of Δ. Previously we determined the sublattice Ψ of ℒ(𝒞ℛ) generated by the variety 𝒞𝒮 of completely simple semigroups and six canonical varieties.

The conjecture is that the sublattice of ℒ(𝒞ℛ) generated by 𝒞𝒮 and canonical varieties follows the pattern of the structure of Ψ.
