Countable dense homogeneous filters and the Menger covering property

Dušan Repovš, Lyubomyr Zdomskyy, Shuguo Zhang (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present a ZFC construction of a non-meager filter which fails to be countable dense homogeneous. This answers a question of Hernández-Gutiérrez and Hrušák. The method of the proof also allows us to obtain for any n ∈ ω ∪ {∞} an n-dimensional metrizable Baire topological group which is strongly locally homogeneous but not countable dense homogeneous.

Counting arithmetic subgroups and subgroup growth of virtually free groups

Amichai Eisenmann (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let K be a p -adic field, and let H = P S L 2 ( K ) endowed with the Haar measure determined by giving a maximal compact subgroup measure 1 . Let A L H ( x ) denote the number of conjugacy classes of arithmetic lattices in H with co-volume bounded by x . We show that under the assumption that K does not contain the element ζ + ζ - 1 , where ζ denotes the p -th root of unity over p , we have lim x log A L H ( x ) x log x = q - 1 where q denotes the order of the residue field of K .

Covering locally compact groups by less than 2 ω many translates of a compact nullset

Márton Elekes, Árpád Tóth (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Gruenhage asked if it was possible to cover the real line by less than continuum many translates of a compact nullset. Under the Continuum Hypothesis the answer is obviously negative. Elekes and Stepr mans gave an affirmative answer by showing that if C E K is the well known compact nullset considered first by Erdős and Kakutani then ℝ can be covered by cof() many translates of C E K . As this set has no analogue in more general groups, it was asked by Elekes and Stepr mans whether such a result holds for...

Covering maps over solenoids which are not covering homomorphisms

Katsuya Eda, Vlasta Matijević (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let Y be a connected group and let f: X → Y be a covering map with the total space X being connected. We consider the following question: Is it possible to define a topological group structure on X in such a way that f becomes a homomorphism of topological groups. This holds in some particular cases: if Y is a pathwise connected and locally pathwise connected group or if f is a finite-sheeted covering map over a compact connected group Y. However, using shape-theoretic techniques and Fox's notion...

Coverings and dimensions in infinite profinite groups

Peter Maga (2013)

Open Mathematics

Answering a question of Miklós Abért, we prove that an infinite profinite group cannot be the union of less than continuum many translates of a compact subset of box dimension less than 1. Furthermore, we show that it is consistent with the axioms of set theory that in any infinite profinite group there exists a compact subset of Hausdorff dimension 0 such that one can cover the group by less than continuum many translates of it.
