Abstract

An inverse Clifford semigroup (often referred to as just a Clifford semigroup) is a semilattice of groups. It is an inverse semigroup and in fact, one of the earliest studied classes of semigroups. In this short note, we discuss various structural aspects of a Clifford semigroup from a cross-connection perspective. In particular, given a Clifford semigroup, we show that the semigroup of normal cones is isomorphic to the original semigroup, even when it is not a monoid. Hence, we see that cross-connection description degenerates in Clifford semigroups. Further, we specialise the discussion to provide the description of the cross-connection structure in an arbitrary semilattice, also.
