Remainders of semitopological groups or paratopological groups (Q2260821)

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. The authors prove results about remainders of Hausdorff compactifications of paratopological or semitopological groups. The following results are typical: If a nonlocally compact semitopological group \(G\) has a Hausdorff compactification \(bG\) such that the remainder \(bG{\setminus} G\) is locally metrizable or has a locally countable network, then \(G\) and \(bG\) are separable and metrizable. If \(G\) is a nonlocally compact paratopological group and the remainder \(bG{\setminus} G\) has a sharp base, then \(G\) and \(bG\) are separable and metrizable. If \(G\) is a nonlocally compact \({\mathbb R}_1\)-factorizable paratopological group and the remainder \(bG{\setminus} G\) is \(k\)-semistratifiable, then \(G\) and \(bG\) are separable and metrizable.
