Abstract

We show that if a subsemigroup SS of the bicyclic monoid C(p,q){\mathscr{C}}(p,q) contains infinitely many idempotents then SS admits only the discrete Hausdorff shift-continuous topology. Also we proof that every right-continuous (left-continuous\emph) Hausdorff Baire topology on the semigroup C+(a,b)\mathscr{C}_+(a,b) (C(a,b))(\mathscr{C}_-(a,b)) is discrete and the same statement holds for the bicyclic monoid.
