Abstract: With every reduced E -Fountain semigroup S which satisfies the generalized right ample condition we associate a category with zero morphisms $$\mathcal {C}(S)$$ C ( S ) . Under some assumptions we prove an isomorphism of $$\Bbbk $$ k -algebras $$\Bbbk S\simeq \Bbbk _{0}\mathcal {C}(S)$$ k S ≃ k 0 C ( S ) between the semigroup algebra and the contracted category algebra where $$\Bbbk $$ k is any commutative unital ring. This is a simultaneous generalization of a former result of the author on reduced E-Fountain semigroups which satisfy the congruence condition, a result of Junying Guo and Xiaojiang Guo on strict right ample semigroups and a result of Benjamin Steinberg on idempotent semigroups with central idempotents. The applicability of the new isomorphism is demonstrated with two well-known monoids which are not members of the above classes. The monoid of order-preserving functions on an n -set and the monoid of binary relations with demonic composition.
