On the ΄΄Fragmentation΄΄ of Certain Pseydocompact Groups
The least cardinal λ such that some (equivalently: every) compact group with weight α admits a dense, pseudocompact subgroup of cardinality λ is denoted by m(α). Clearly, . We show: Theorem 4.12. Let G be Abelian with |G| = γ. If either m(α) ≤ α and m, or α > ω and , then G admits a pseudocompact group topology of weight α. Theorem 4.15. Every connected, pseudocompact Abelian group G with wG = α ≥ ω satisfies . Theorem 5.2(b). If G is divisible Abelian with , then G admits at most -many...
For various pairs of topological properties such that P ⇒ Q, we consider two questions: (A) Does every topological group topology with P extend properly to a topological group topology with Q, and (B) must a topological group with P have a proper dense subgroup with Q? We obtain negative results and positive results. Principal among the latter is the statement that any pseudocompact group G of uncountable weight which satisfies any of the following three conditions has both a strictly finer pseudocompact...
The symbol (with κ ≥ ω) denotes the space with the κ-box topology; this has as base all sets of the form with open in and with . The symbols w, d and S denote respectively the weight, density character and Suslin number. Generalizing familiar classical results, the authors show inter alia: Theorem 3.1.10(b). If κ ≤ α⁺, |I| = α and each contains the discrete space 0,1 and satisfies , then . Theorem 4.3.2. If and with D(α) discrete, |D(α)| = α, then . Corollaries 5.2.32(a) and...
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...
