Abstract
On the infinite semigroup of matrix units there exists no semigroup compact [countably compact] topology. Any continuous homomorphism from the infinite topological semigroup of matrix units into a compact topological semigroup is annihilating. The semigroup of matrix units is algebraically h-closed in the class of topological inverse semigroups. Some H-closed minimal semigroup topologies on the infinite semigroup of matrix units are considered.
