Normal extensions and full restricted semidirect products of inverse semigroups

Abstract

We characterize the normal extensions of inverse semigroups isomorphic to full restricted semidirect products, and present a Kalouznin-Krasner theorem which holds for a wider class of normal extensions of inverse semigroups than that in the well-known embedding theorem due to Billhardt, and also strengthens that result in two respects. First, the wreath product construction applied in our result, and stemmming from Houghton's wreath product, is a full restricted semidirect product not merely a lambda-semidirect product. Second, the Kernel classes of our wreath product construction are direct products of some Kernel classes of the normal extension to be embedded rather than only inverse subsemigroups of the direct power of its whole Kernel.
