It was known that free Abelian groups do not admit a Hausdorff compact group topology. Tkachenko showed in 1990 that, under CH, a free Abelian group of size admits a Hausdorff countably compact group topology. We show that no Hausdorff group topology on a free Abelian group makes its -th power countably compact. In particular, a free Abelian group does not admit a Hausdorff -compact nor a sequentially compact group topology. Under CH, we show that a free Abelian group does not admit...
