We show that the lattice $\\mathcal{W}$ of all weak shift-continuous topologies on $\\mathcal{C}^0$ is isomorphic to the lattice of all shift-invariant filters on $\\omega$ with an attached element $1$ endowed with the following partial order: $\\mathcal{F}\\leq \\mathcal{G}$ iff $\\mathcal{G}=1$ or $\\mathcal{F}\\subset \\mathcal{G}$. Also, we investigate cardinal characteristics of the lattice $\\mathcal{W}$. In particular, we proved that $\\mathcal{W}$ contains an antichain of cardinality $2^{\\mathfrak{c}}$ and a well-ordered chain of cardinality $\\mathfrak{c}$. Moreover, there exists a well-ordered chain of first-countable weak topologies of order type $\\mathfrak{t}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-13T10:15:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bicyclic monoid", "adjoined zero", "coarsest inverse semigroup topology", "well-ordered chain", "weak shift-continuous topologies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
