In a recent paper [1] we showed that there is a (1,) -correspondence between the homomorphisms of an inverse semigroup S and its normal subsemigroups. The normal subsemigroup of S corresponding to and determining the homomorphism μ of S is the inverse image under μ of the set of idempotents of Sμ and is called the kernel of the homomorphism μ. The inverse image of each idempotent of Sμ is itself an inverse semigroup [1], and each such inverse semigroup is said to be a component of the normal subsemigroup determined by μ.
