Cosymplectic and α-cosymplectic Lie algebras
We present a ZFC construction of a non-meager filter which fails to be countable dense homogeneous. This answers a question of Hernández-Gutiérrez and Hrušák. The method of the proof also allows us to obtain for any n ∈ ω ∪ {∞} an n-dimensional metrizable Baire topological group which is strongly locally homogeneous but not countable dense homogeneous.
Let be a -adic field, and let endowed with the Haar measure determined by giving a maximal compact subgroup measure . Let denote the number of conjugacy classes of arithmetic lattices in with co-volume bounded by . We show that under the assumption that does not contain the element , where denotes the -th root of unity over , we have where denotes the order of the residue field of .
Gruenhage asked if it was possible to cover the real line by less than continuum many translates of a compact nullset. Under the Continuum Hypothesis the answer is obviously negative. Elekes and Stepr mans gave an affirmative answer by showing that if is the well known compact nullset considered first by Erdős and Kakutani then ℝ can be covered by cof() many translates of . As this set has no analogue in more general groups, it was asked by Elekes and Stepr mans whether such a result holds for...
Let Y be a connected group and let f: X → Y be a covering map with the total space X being connected. We consider the following question: Is it possible to define a topological group structure on X in such a way that f becomes a homomorphism of topological groups. This holds in some particular cases: if Y is a pathwise connected and locally pathwise connected group or if f is a finite-sheeted covering map over a compact connected group Y. However, using shape-theoretic techniques and Fox's notion...
Answering a question of Miklós Abért, we prove that an infinite profinite group cannot be the union of less than continuum many translates of a compact subset of box dimension less than 1. Furthermore, we show that it is consistent with the axioms of set theory that in any infinite profinite group there exists a compact subset of Hausdorff dimension 0 such that one can cover the group by less than continuum many translates of it.
This survey on crystallographic groups, geometric structures on Lie groups and associated algebraic structures is based on a lecture given in the Ostrava research seminar in .
