REPRESENTATIONS OF LOCALLY INVERSE *-SEMIGROUPS

The first author obtained a generalization of Preston-Vagner Representation Theorem for generalized inverse *-semigroups. In this paper, we shall generalize their results for locally inverse *-semigroups. Firstly, by introducing a concept of a π-set (which is slightly different from the one in [7]), we shall construct the π-symmetric locally inverse *-semigroup on a π-set, and show that any locally inverse *-semigroup can be embedded up to *-isomorphism in the π-symmetric locally inverse semigroup on a π-set. Moreover, we shall obtain that the wreath product of locally inverse *-semigroups is also a locally inverse *-semigroup.
