Abstract.
We present a concrete model of the embedding due to Pastijn and Yan of a semigroup S into an idempotent generated semigroup now in terms of a Rees matrix semigroup over S 1. The paper starts with a comparison of the two embeddings. Studying the properties of this embedding, we prove that it is functorial. We show that a number of usual semigroup properties is preserved by this embedding, such as periodicity, finiteness, the cryptic property, regularity, complete semisimplicity and various local properties, but complete regularity is not one of them.
