Abstract

A topology τ\tau on a monoid SS is called {\em shift-continuous} if for every a,bSa,b\in S the two-sided shift SSS\to S, xaxbx\mapsto axb, is continuous. For every ordinal αω\alpha\le \omega, we describe all shift-continuous locally compact Hausdorff topologies on the α\alpha-bicyclic monoid Bα\mathcal{B}_{\alpha}. More precisely, we prove that the lattice of shift-continuous locally compact Hausdorff topologies on Bα\mathcal{B}_{\alpha} is anti-isomorphic to the segment of [1,α][1,\alpha] of ordinals, endowed with the natural well-order. Also we prove that for each ordinal α\alpha the α+1\alpha+1-bicyclic monoid Bα+1\mathcal{B}_{\alpha+1} is isomorphic to the Bruck extension of the α\alpha-bicyclic monoid Bα\mathcal{B}_{\alpha}.
