Abstract

In this short note we give a negative answer to the following open question: \emph{Let XX be a σ\sigma-compact paratopological group. Does there exist a continuous isomorphism of XX onto a topological group GG?} Specifically, we construct a family of σ\sigma-compact paratopological groups for which a continuous isomorphism onto a topological group GG exists if and only if GG carries the trivial topology.
