Abstract
The class of identical inclusions was defined by Lyapin. We prove that any set of identical inclusions in the class of semilattices is equivalent to an elementary (the first order) formula. Elementary identical inclusions forms the class of universal formulas which is situated strictly between identities and universal positive formulas. We describe the infinite lattice of all classes of semilattices which can be defined by sets of identical inclusions and solve the main algorithmic problems concerning identical inclusions of semilattices.
