Cross-connection semigroups amalgam of a vector bundle

Abstract

Cross-connections of normal categories was introduced by K.S.S.Nambooripad while discussing the structure of regular semigroups and via this cross-connections he obtained a beautiful representetion of regualr semigroup called the cross-connection semigroup (see cf.[4]). Subsequently cross-connection representation of various other semigroups such as concordant semigroups, semigroup of endomorphisms of a vector space are also described (cf.[6][5]). In this paper we describe the semigroup amalgam of cross-connection semigroups of the fibers of a vector bundle.
