Abstract

We give the sufficient condition when every left-continuous (right-continuous) Hausdorff topology on a semigroup SS is discrete. We construct a submonoid C+(a,b)\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b) (resp., C(a,b)\mathscr{C}_{-}(a,b)) of the bicyclic monoid which contains a family {Sα ⁣:αc}\{S_\alpha\colon \alpha\in\mathfrak{c}\} of continuum many subsemigroups with the following properties: (i)(i) every left-continuous (resp., right-continuous) Hausdorff topology on SαS_\alpha is discrete; (ii)(ii) every semigroup SαS_\alpha admits a non-discrete right-continuous (resp., left-continuous) Hausdorff topology which is not left-continuous (resp., right-continuous); (iii)(iii) every semigroup SαS_\alpha isomorphically embeds into a Hausdorff compact topological semigroup. Also we construct a submonoid CZ+\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}^+ (resp., CZ\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}^-) of the extended bicyclic semigroup which contains a family {Sα ⁣:αc}\{S_\alpha\colon \alpha\in\mathfrak{c}\} of continuum many subsemigroups with the above described properties.
