Stone–Čech compactification as a semigroup
Let $G$ be a topological group (we can assume that $G$ is countable and discrete) and let $\beta(G)$ be the Stone–Čech compactification of $G$. It is known that $\beta(G)$ can be turned into a left ...

Embedding abelian cancellative Hausdorff topological semigroups into abelian Hausdorff topological groups
An abelian cancellative semigroup embeds (via a semigroup monomorphism) into an abelian group. What about an abelian cancellative Hausdorff topological semigroup that does not embed (via a ...

Compactness of the minimal ideal of a compact Hausdorff polytopological semigroup
A semigroup $X$ endowed with a topology is called
$\bullet$ a topological semigroup if the semigroup operation $X\times X\to X$ is continuous;
$\bullet$ a semitopological semigroup if for every $a,b\...

Neighborhoods of idempotents in topological inverse semigroups
In a topological group, for any neighborhood $U$ of the origin, there is another such neighborhood with the property that $V.V\subseteq U.$ I conjecture a similar property for topological inverse ...
