On the Semitopological Extended Bicyclic Semigroup with Adjoined Zero

Abstract

In the paper it is shown that every Hausdorff locally compact semigroup topology on the extended bicyclic semigroup with adjoined zero $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}^{\mathbf{0}}$ is discrete, but on $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}^{\mathbf{0}}$ there exist $\mathfrak{c}$ many different Hausdorff locally compact shift-continuous topologies. Also, it is constructed on $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}^{\mathbf{0}}$ the unique minimal shift continuous topology and the unique minimal inverse semigroup topology.
