Abstract

Let XX be a topological space and f:XXf:X\to X a bijection. Let C(X,f){\mathcal C}(X,f) be a set of integers such that an integer nn is an element of C(X,f){\mathcal C}(X,f) if and only if the bijection fn:XXf^n:X\to X is continuous. A subset SS of the set of integers Z{\mathbb Z} is said to be realizable if there is a topological space XX and a bijection f:XXf:X\to X such that S=C(X,f)S={\mathcal C}(X,f). A subset SS of Z{\mathbb Z} containing 0 is called a submonoid of Z{\mathbb Z} if the sum of any two elements of SS is also an element of SS. We show that a subset SS of Z{\mathbb Z} is realizable if and only if SS is a submonoid of Z{\mathbb Z}. Then we generalize this result to any submonoid in any group.
