Synopsis

Sufficient conditions are given for a contracted semigroup ring, in which the two-sided ideals have a certain property, to be (a) semiprime, (b) semiprimitive, (c) prime, (d) primitive. The results are applied to the contracted semigroup rings of inverse semigroups, where they provide new proofs of theorems of Domanov.
