The class of abundant semigroups originally arose from ‘homological’ considerations in the theory of S-systems: they are the semigroup theoretic counterparts of PP-rings. Cancellative monoids, full subsemigroups of regular semigroups as well as the multiplicative semigroups of PP-rings are abundant. In this paper we investigate the properties of Rees matrix semigroups over abundant semigroups. Some of our results generalise McAlister's work on regular Rees matrix semigroups.
