In this paper, we investigate Polish semigroup topologies on the endomorphism monoids $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{N},\leq)$ and $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{Z},\leq)$. We introduce a new structural condition, property $\mathbb{XX}$, which…
We classify all Polish semigroup topologies on the symmetric inverse monoid on the natural numbers. This result answers a question of Elliott et al. There are countably infinitely many such topologies. Under containment, these Polish…
In this paper we explore the extent to which the algebraic structure of a monoid $M$ determines the topologies on $M$ that are compatible with its multiplication. Specifically we study the notions of automatic continuity; minimal Hausdorff…
In this thesis we explore natural procedures through which topological structure can be constructed from specific semigroups. We will do this in two ways: 1) we equip the semigroup object itself with a topological structure, and 2) we find…
The set of increasing functions on the rational numbers, equipped with the composition operation, naturally forms a topological semigroup with respect to the topology of pointwise convergence in which a sequence of increasing functions…
We show that all non-trivial continuous endomorphisms of the circle group are topologically mixing. We also show that there exists a large infinite class of continuous endomorphisms of any n-dimensional torus group which are topologically…
We consider the isometry group of the infinite dimensional separable hyperbolic space with its Polish topology. This topology is given by the pointwise convergence. For non-locally compact Polish groups, some striking phenomena like…
Various spaces of symmetries of a structure are naturally endowed with both an algebraic and a topological structure. For example, the automorphism group of a structure is, on top of being a group, a topological group when equipped with the…
A general overview of the phenomenon of automatic continuity of homomorphisms between Polish groups is given. In particular, we study variants and improvements of the closed graph theorem, applying these to the problem of continuity of…
The endomorphism monoid of a model-theoretic structure carries two interesting topologies: on the one hand, the topology of pointwise convergence induced externally by the action of the endomorphisms on the domain via evaluation; on the…
We investigate semigroup topologies on the full transformation monoid T(X) of an infinite set X. We show that the standard pointwise topology is the weakest Hausdorff semigroup topology on T(X), show that the pointwise topology is the…
In this paper we consider the questions of which topological semigroups embed topologically into the full transformation monoid $\mathbb{N} ^ \mathbb{N}$ or the symmetric inverse monoid $I_{\mathbb{N}}$ with their respective canonical…
We extend some results of Carderi and Le Ma\^itre on full groups in the probability context to the infinite measure one: there exists at most one Polish group topology (refining the weak topology and coarser than the uniform topology) on an…
Every transformation monoid comes equipped with a canonical topology-the topology of pointwise convergence. For some structures, the topology of the endomorphism monoid can be reconstructed from its underlying abstract monoid. This…
It is known that the topology of a Polish group is uniquely determined by its Borel structure and group operations, but this does not give us a way to find the topology. In this article we expand on this theorem and give a criterion for a…
In this paper, we prove several results concerning Polish group topologies on groups of non-singular transformation. We first prove that the group of measure-preserving transformations of the real line whose support has finite measure…
We prove that every Polish group with more than two elements admits a non-trivial topological group automorphism. As a consequence, a hypothetical uniquely homogeneous Polish space with more than two points cannot be a semitopological…
We give a complete characterization of the graph products of cyclic groups admitting a Polish group topology, and show that they are all realizable as the group of automorphisms of a countable structure. In particular, we characterize the…
A topological monoid is isomorphic to an endomorphism monoid of a countable structure if and only if it is separable and has a compatible complete ultrametric such that composition from the left is non-expansive. We also give a topological…
We show that the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets is compatible with the group law of the automorphism group of a large class of spaces that are endowed with both a uniform structure and a bornology, thus yielding numerous…
