Classification of self-dual torsion-free LCA groups

S. Wu — 1992

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In this paper we seek to describe the structure of self-dual torsion-free LCA groups. We first present a proof of the structure theorem of self-dual torsion-free metric LCA groups. Then we generalize the structure theorem to a larger class of self-dual torsion-free LCA groups. We also give a characterization of torsion-free divisible LCA groups. Consequently, a complete classification of self-dual divisible LCA groups is obtained; and any self-dual torsion-free LCA group can be regarded as an open...

The Bohr compactification, modulo a metrizable subgroup

W. Comfort;  F. Trigos-Arrieta;  S. Wu — 1993

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The authors prove the following result, which generalizes a well-known theorem of I. Glicksberg [G]: If G is a locally compact Abelian group with Bohr compactification bG, and if N is a closed metrizable subgroup of bG, then every A ⊆ G satisfies: A·(N ∩ G) is compact in G if and only if {aN:a ∈ A} is compact in bG/N. Examples are given to show: (a) the asserted equivalence can fail in the absence of the metrizability hypothesis, even when N ∩ G = {1}; (b) the asserted equivalence can hold for suitable...
