Abstract

In this paper, we prove that a completely 0-simple (or completely simple) semigroup is an amalgamation base for finite semigroups if and only if it is an amalgamation base for semigroups. By adopting the same method as used in a previous paper, we prove that a finite regular semigroup is an amalgamation base for finite semigroups if its [Formula: see text]-classes are linearly ordered and all of its principal factor semigroups are amalgamation bases for finite semigroups. Finally, we give an example of a finite semigroup U which is an amalgamation base for semigroups, but not all of its principal factor semigroups are amalgamation bases either for semigroups or for finite semigroups.
