Although the classes of regular simple semigroups and simple semigroups without idempotents are evidently at opposite ends of the spectrum of simple semigroups, their theories involve some interesting connections. Jones [5] has obtained analogues of the bicyclic semigroup for simple semigroups without idempotents. Megyesi and Pollák [7] have classified all combinatorial simple principal ideal semigroups on two generators, showing that all are homomorphic images of one such semigroup Po which has no idempotents.
