On lattices embeddable into subsemigroup lattices. III: Nilpotent semigroups.
We study the groupoids satisfying both the left distributivity and the left idempotency laws. We show that they possess a canonical congruence admitting an idempotent groupoid as factor. This congruence gives a construction of left idempotent left distributive groupoids from left distributive idempotent groupoids and right constant groupoids.
The paper contains characterizations of semigroup varieties whose semigroups with one generator (two generators) are permutable. Here all varieties of regular -semigroups are described in which each semigroup with two generators is permutable.
