We introduce a class of regular extensions of regular semigroups, called enlargements; a regular semigroup T is said to be an enlargement of a regular subsemigroup S if S = STS and T = TST. We show that S and T have many properties in common, and that enlargements may be used to analyse a number of questions in regular semigroup theory.
