What is the relation between the number syntactic congruence classes, and the number of Nerode relation classes?
For a monoid $M$ and a subset $S$ of $M$, define the syntactic congruence $\equiv_S$ of $S$ as the least congruence on $M$ that saturates $S$, i.e. :
$$u \equiv_S v \Leftrightarrow (\forall x, y)[xuy \...

Is a J-simple semigroup with an idempotent necessarily regular?
If a semigroup S has no proper ideals can it have both regular and non-regular members? My guess would be 'yes' but in that case does anyone know of an example in the literature?
