Abstract

Let \FP(X)\FP(X) be the free paratopological group on a topological space XX in the sense of Markov. In this paper, we study the group \FP(X)\FP(X) on a PαP_\alpha-space XX where α\alpha is an infinite cardinal and then we prove that the group \FP(X)\FP(X) is an Alexandroff space if XX is an Alexandroff space. Moreover, we introduce a neighborhood base at the identity of the group \FP(X)\FP(X) when the space XX is Alexandroff and then we give some properties of this neighborhood base. As applications of these, we prove that the group \FP(X)\FP(X) is T0T_0 if XX is T0T_0, we characterize the spaces XX for which the group \FP(X)\FP(X) is a topological group and then we give a class of spaces XX for which the group \FP(X)\FP(X) has the inductive limit property.
