On the lattice of varieties of completely regular semigroups considered as algebras with the binary multiplication and unary inversion within maximal subgroups, we study the relations , , , , , , and . Here is the kernel relation, is the trace relation, and are the left and the right trace relations, respectively, for , is the core relation and is the local relation. We give an alternative definition for each of these relations of the form for some subclasses of ....
