Abstract

A known result in groups concerning the inheritance of minimal conditions on normal subgroups by subgroups with finite indexes is extended to semilattices of groups [E(S),Se,ϕe,f] with identities in which all ϕe,f are epimorphisms (called q partial groups). Formulation of this result in terms of q congruences is also obtained.
