Abstract

Given a countable group XX we study the algebraic structure of its superextension λ(X)\lambda(X). This is a right-topological semigroup consisting of all maximal linked systems on XX endowed with the operation AB={CX:{xX:x1CB}A}\mathcal A\circ\mathcal B=\{C\subset X:\{x\in X:x^{-1}C\in\mathcal B\}\in\mathcal A\} that extends the group operation of XX. We show that the subsemigroup λ(X)\lambda^\circ(X) of free maximal linked systems contains an open dense subset of right cancelable elements. Also we prove that the topological center of λ(X)\lambda(X) coincides with the subsemigroup λ(X)\lambda^\bullet(X) of all maximal linked systems with finite support. This result is applied to show that the algebraic center of λ(X)\lambda(X) coincides with the algebraic center of XX provided XX is countably infinite. On the other hand, for finite groups XX of order 3X53\le|X|\le5 the algebraic center of λ(X)\lambda(X) is strictly larger than the algebraic center of XX.
