Abstract

A Hausdorff topology τ\tau on the bicyclic monoid with adjoined zero C0\mathcal{C}^0 is called {\em weak} if it is contained in the coarsest inverse semigroup topology on C0\mathcal{C}^0. We show that the lattice W\mathcal{W} of all weak shift-continuous topologies on C0\mathcal{C}^0 is isomorphic to the lattice of all shift-invariant filters on ω\omega with an attached element 11 endowed with the following partial order: FG\mathcal{F}\leq \mathcal{G} iff G=1\mathcal{G}=1 or FG\mathcal{F}\subset \mathcal{G}. Also, we investigate cardinal characteristics of the lattice W\mathcal{W}. In particular, we proved that W\mathcal{W} contains an antichain of cardinality 2c2^{\mathfrak{c}} and a well-ordered chain of cardinality c\mathfrak{c}. Moreover, there exists a well-ordered chain of first-countable weak topologies of order type t\mathfrak{t}.
