Abstract

A semigroup is completely simple if it has no proper ideals and contains a primitive idempotent. We say that a completely simple semigroup SS is a homogeneous completely simple semigroup if any isomorphism between finitely generated completely simple subsemigroups of SS extends to an automorphism of SS. Motivated by the study of homogeneous completely regular semigroups, we obtain a complete classification of homogeneous completely simple semigroups, modulo the group case. As a consequence, all finite regular homogeneous semigroups are described, thus extending the work of Cherlin on homogeneous finite groups.
