Abstract : A block group is a finite monoid such that every R-class (resp. L-class) contains at most one idempotent. Block groups form a (pseudo)-variety. The aim of this paper is to present five other characterizations of this variety. It is equal first to the variety generated by power groups, secondly to the variety generated by semidirect products of a J-trivial monoid by a group, thirdly to the variety generated by Malcev products of a J-trivial monoid by a group, fourthly to the variety generated by Schützenberger products of groups and finally to the variety of finite monoids whose idempotents generate a J-trivial monoid. These results are presented in a chronological perspective and some consequences on ordered monoids and on the progroup topology are derived.
