Titre / Title: A variety theorem without complementation
Abstract : Eilenberg's theorem is an important tool in the theory of languages. It gives a one to one correspondence between varieties of finite semigroups and varieties of languages, which are classes of languages closed under finite boolean operations, inverse morphisms and residuals. The aim of this paper is to prove a similar result for a larger class than varieties of languages. A positive variety is a class of recognizable languages closed under finite union, finite intersection, inverse morphism and residuals. It is shown in this paper that positive varieties are in one to one correspondence with varieties of finite ordered semigroups. Several examples of this correspondence are given.
