Abstract
The space βℕ is the Stone-Čech compactification of the discrete space of positive integers. The set of elements of βℕ which are in the kernel of every continuous homomorpnism from βℕ to a topological group is a compact semigroup containing the idempotents. At first glance it would seem a good candidate for the smallest such semigroup. We produce an infinite nested sequence of smaller such semigroups all defined naturally in terms of addition on ℕ.
