Abstract

For any completely simple semigroup C a regular expansion S(C) is constructed which is the Birget--Rhodes prefix expansion CPr if C is a group [6]. We show that our construction generalizes two important features of CPr. Moreover we embed S(C) into a restricted semidirect product of a semilattice by C and investigate the relationship to the expansion P(C), introduced by Meakin [14].
