Abstract

The partial automorphism monoid of an inverse semigroup is an inverse monoid consisting of all isomorphisms between its inverse subsemigroups. We prove that a tightly connected fundamental inverse semigroup SS with no isolated nontrivial subgroups is lattice determined "modulo semilattices" and if TT is an inverse semigroup whose partial automorphism monoid is isomorphic to that of SS, then either SS and TT are isomorphic or they are dually isomorphic chains relative to the natural partial order; a similar result holds if TT is any semigroup and the inverse monoids consisting of all isomorphisms between subsemigroups of SS and TT, respectively, are isomorphic. Moreover, for these results to hold, the conditions that SS be tightly connected and have no isolated nontrivial subgroups are essential.
