For every discrete group G , the Stone-Čech compactification β G of G has a natural structure of a compact right topological semigroup. An ultrafilter p G * , where G * = β G G , is called right cancellable if, given any q , r G * , q p = r p implies q = r . For every right cancellable ultrafilter p G * , we denote by G ( p ) the group G endowed with the strongest left invariant topology in which p converges to the identity of G . For any countable group G and any right cancellable ultrafilters p , q G * , we show that G ( p ) is homeomorphic to G ( q ) if and only if p and q are of the same type.

AB - For every discrete group $G$, the Stone-Čech compactification $\beta G$ of $G$ has a natural structure of a compact right topological semigroup. An ultrafilter $p\in G^*$, where $G^*=\beta G\setminus G$, is called right cancellable if, given any $q,r\in G^*$, $qp=rp$ implies $q=r$. For every right cancellable ultrafilter $p\in G^*$, we denote by $G(p)$ the group $G$ endowed with the strongest left invariant topology in which $p$ converges to the identity of $G$. For any countable group $G$ and any right cancellable ultrafilters $p,q\in G^*$, we show that $G(p)$ is homeomorphic to $G(q)$ if and only if $p$ and $q$ are of the same type.
