When we speak of the semigroup of a topological space X, we mean S(X) the semigroup of all continuous self maps of X. Let h be a homeomorphism from a topological space X onto a topological space Y. It is immediate that the mapping which sends fS(X) into h º f º h−1 is an isomorphism from the semigroup of X onto the semigroup of Y. More generally, let h be a continuous function from X into Y and k a continuous function from Y into X such that k º h is the identity map on X. One easily verifies that the mapping which sends f into h º f º k is a monomorphism from S(X) into S(Y). Now for “most” spaces X and Y, every isomorphism from S(X) onto S(Y) is induced by a homeomorphism from X onto Y. Indeed, a number of the early papers dealing with S(X) were devoted to establishing this fact.
