A relatively free topological group that is not varietal free

Vladimir PestovDmitri Shakhmatov — 1998

Colloquium Mathematicae

Answering a 1982 question of Sidney A. Morris, we construct a topological group G and a subspace X such that (i) G is algebraically free over X, (ii) G is relatively free over X, that is, every continuous mapping from X to G extends to a unique continuous endomorphism of G, and (iii) G is not a varietal free topological group on X in any variety of topological groups.

On a universality property of some abelian Polish groups

Su GaoVladimir Pestov — 2003

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that every abelian Polish group is the topological factor group of a closed subgroup of the full unitary group of a separable Hilbert space with the strong operator topology. It follows that all orbit equivalence relations induced by abelian Polish group actions are Borel reducible to some orbit equivalence relations induced by actions of the unitary group.

General construction of Banach-Grassmann algebras

We show that a free graded commutative Banach algebra over a (purely odd) Banach space E is a Banach-Grassmann algebra in the sense of Jadczyk and Pilch if and only if E is infinite-dimensional. Thus, a large amount of new examples of separable Banach-Grassmann algebras arise in addition to the only one example previously known due to A. Rogers.
