In a semigroup S the set E of idempotents is partially ordered by the rule that e≦ƒ if and only if eƒ=ee. We say that S is an ω-semigroup if E={ei: i=0, 1, 2, …}, where

Bisimple ω-semigroups have been classified in [10]. From a group G and an endomorphism α of G a bisimple ω-semigroup S(G, α) can be constructed by a process described below in § 1: moreover, any bisimple ω-semigroup is isomorphic to one of this type.
