On locally compact shift-continuous topologies on semigroups $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(a,b)$ with adjoined zero

Abstract

Let $\mathscr{C}_{+}(p,q)^0$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(p,q)^0$ be the semigroups $\mathscr{C}_{+}(a,b)$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(a,b)$ with the adjoined zero. We show that the semigroups $\mathscr{C}_{+}(p,q)^0$ and $\mathscr{C}_{-}(p,q)^0$ admit continuum many different Hausdorff locally compact shift-continuous topologies up to topological isomorphism.
