Abstract: In this paper, we firstly discuss the question: Is

l_{2}^{i n f t y}

homeomorphic to a rectifiable space or a paratopological group? And then, we mainly discuss locally compact rectifiable spaces, and show that a locally compact and separable rectifiable space is

s i g m a

-compact, which gives an affirmative answer to A.V. Arhangel'skiv{i} and M.M. Choban's question [On remainders of rectifiable spaces, Topology Appl., 157(2010), 789-799]. Next, we show that a rectifiable space

X

is strongly Fr

chet-Urysohn if and only if

X

is an

a l p h a_{4}

-sequential space. Moreover, we discuss the metrizabilities of rectifiable spaces, which gives a partial answer for a question posed in cite{LFC2009}. Finally, we consider the remainders of rectifiable spaces, which improve some results in cite{A2005, A2007, A2009, Liu2009}.

Review text

The authors study the classes of rectifiable spaces and paratopological groups which are generalizations of topological groups. A topological space \(G\) is \textit{rectifiable} if there is a surjective homeomorphism \(\varphi:G\times G\to G\times G\) and an element \(e\in G\) such that \(\pi_1\circ\varphi=\pi_1\) and for every \(x\in G\), \(\varphi(x,x)=(x,e)\), where \(\pi_1:G\times G\to G\) is the projection to the first coordinate. A \textit{paratopological group} \(G\) is a group with a topology on the set \(G\) that makes the multiplication mapping \(G\times G\to G\) continuous, when \(G\times G\) is given the product topology.NEWLINENEWLINEFirst, the authors prove that the separable Hilbert space \(l_2^{\infty}\) is homeomorphic to no rectifiable space or paratopological group. In [Topology Appl. 157, No. 4, 789--799 (2010; Zbl 1192.54009)] \textit{A. V. Arhangel'skiĭ} and \textit{M. M. Choban} posed the question: Is every rectifiable \(p\)-space with countable Souslin number Lindelöf? What if we assume the space to be separable? Separable and locally compact? In Section 4, the authors give an affirmative answer to the question for separable and locally compact rectifiable spaces. That is, they prove that every locally compact and separable rectifiable space is \(\sigma\)-compact, and hence it is Lindelöf. Furthermore, in Section 5, they show that for a sequential rectifiable space, the following are equivalent: (1) \(G\) is an \(\alpha_4\)-space; (2) \(G\) is an \(AS\)-space; (3) \(G\) is Fréchet-Urysohn; (4) \(G\) is strongly Fréchet-Urysohn. The authors also discuss the metrizability of rectifiable spaces and consider the remainders of rectifiable spaces.
