Remainders of Semitopological Groups or Paratopological Groups

We mainly discuss the remainders of Hausdorff compactifications of paratopological groups or semitopological groups. Thus, we show that if a nonlocally compact semitopological group G has a compactification bG such that the remainder Y = bG \ G possesses a locally countable network, then G has a countable pi -character and is also first-countable, that if G is a nonlocally compact semitopological group with locally metrizable remainder, then G and bG are separable and metrizable, that if a nonlocally compact paratopological group has a remainder with sharp base, then G and bG are separable and metrizable, and that if a nonlocally compact a"e(1)-factorizable paratopological group has a remainder which is a k -semistratifiable space, then G and bG are separable and metrizable. These results improve some results obtained by C. Liu (Topology Appl., 159, 1415-1420 (2012)) and A.V. Arhangel'skNuC and M. M. Choban (Topology Proc., 37, 33-60 (2011)). Moreover, some open questions are formulated.
