Abelian groups whose endomorphism ring is linearly compact
Let be a simple Lie algebra and the poset of non-trivial abelian ideals of a fixed Borel subalgebra of . In [8], we constructed a partition parameterised by the long positive roots of and studied the subposets . In this note, we show that this partition is compatible with intersections, relate it to the Kostant-Peterson parameterisation and to the centralisers of abelian ideals. We also prove that the poset of positive roots of is a join-semilattice.
We study a class of abelian groups that can be defined as Polish pro-countable groups, as non-archimedean groups with a compatible two-sided invariant metric or as quasi-countable groups, i.e., closed subdirect products of countable discrete groups, endowed with the product topology. We show that for every non-locally compact, abelian quasi-countable group G there exists a closed L ≤ G and a closed, non-locally compact K ≤ G/L which is a direct product of discrete countable groups....
Let be any group and let be an abelian quasinormal subgroup of . If is any positive integer, either odd or divisible by , then we prove that the subgroup is also quasinormal in .
