Abstract

Let KK be a complete quasivariety of topological inverse Clifford semigroups, containing all topological semilattices. It is shown that the free topological inverse semigroup F(X,K)F(X,K) of XX in the class KK is an RR^\infty-manifold if and only if XX has no isolated points and F(X,K)F(X,K) is a retract of an RR^\infty-manifold. We derive from this that for any retract XX of an RR^\infty-manifold the free topological inverse semigroup F(X,K)F(X,K) is an RR^\infty-manifold if and only if the space XX has no isolated points. Also we show that for any homotopically equivalent retracts X,YX,Y of RR^\infty-manifolds with no isolated points the free topological inverse semigroups F(X,K)F(X,K) and F(Y,K)F(Y,K) are homeomorphic. This allows us to construct non-homeomorphic spaces whose free topological inverse semigroups are homeomorphic.
