Maximal congruences on some semigroups

In 1976 Howie proved that a finite congruence-free semigroup is a simple group if it has at least three elements but no zero element. Infinite congruence-free semigroups are far more complicated to describe, but some have been constructed using semigroups of transformations (for example, by Howie in...
