Let S be an inverse semigroup with semilattice of idempotents E, and let ρ be a congruence on S. Then ρ is said to be idempotent-determined [2], or I.D. for short, if (a, b) ∈ р and a∈E imply that b ∈ E. If, further, ρ is a group congruence, then clearly ρ is the minimum group congruence on S, and in this case S is said to be proper [8]. Let T = S/ρ.
