On semigroups which admit only discrete left-continuous Hausdorff topology
Abstract
We give the sufficient condition when every left-continuous (right-continuous) Hausdorff topology on a semigroup is discrete. We construct a submonoid (resp., ) of the bicyclic monoid which contains a family of continuum many subsemigroups with the following properties: every left-continuous (resp., right-continuous) Hausdorff topology on is discrete; every semigroup admits a non-discrete right-continuous (resp., left-continuous) Hausdorff topology which is not left-continuous (resp., right-continuous); every semigroup isomorphically embeds into a Hausdorff compact topological semigroup. Also we construct a submonoid (resp., ) of the extended bicyclic semigroup which contains a family of continuum many subsemigroups with the above described properties.
