The set of increasing functions on the rational numbers, equipped with the composition operation, naturally forms a topological semigroup with respect to the topology of pointwise convergence in which a sequence of increasing functions converges if and only if it is eventually constant at every argument. We develop new techniques to prove there is no other Polish topology turning this semigroup into a topological one, and show that previous techniques are insufficient for this matter.

Polish topologies on endomorphism monoids of linear orders
Authors introduce property XX for automatic continuity and prove that End^∞(N,≤) has a unique Polish semigroup topology while End(N,≤), End(Z,≤) have infinitely many and End(N,<) has continuum many.
