FACTORIZATION THEOREMS FOR MORPHISMS OF ORDERED GROUPOIDS AND INVERSE SEMIGROUPS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Abstract
Adapting the theory of the derived category to ordered groupoids, we prove that every ordered functor (and thus every inverse and regular semigroup homomorphism) factors as an enlargement followed by an ordered fibration. As an application, we obtain Lawson’s version of Ehresmann’s Maximum Enlargement Theorem, from which can be deduced the classical theory of idempotent-pure inverse semigroup homomorphisms and $E$-unitary inverse semigroups.
