A metrizable semitopological semilattice with non-closed partial order

Abstract

Abstract We construct a metrizable semitopological semilattice X whose partial order P = {(x, y) ∈ X × X : xy = x} is a non-closed dense subset of X × X. As a by-product we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a (metrizable) Hausdorff topology on a set, act, semigroup or semilattice, having a prescribed countable family of convergent sequences.
