Tensor products in the category of topological vector spaces are not associative
We show by example that the associative law does not hold for tensor products in the category of general (not necessarily locally convex) topological vector spaces. The same pathology occurs for tensor products of Hausdorff abelian topological groups.

The Bohr compactification, modulo a metrizable subgroup
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...

The concept of boundedness and the Bohr compactification of a MAP Abelian group
Let G be a maximally almost periodic (MAP) Abelian group and let ℬ be a boundedness on G in the sense of Vilenkin. We study the relations between ℬ and the Bohr topology of G for some well known groups with boundedness (G,ℬ). As an application, we prove that the Bohr topology of a topological group which is topologically isomorphic to the direct product of a locally convex space and an -group, contains “many” discrete C-embedded subsets which are C*-embedded in their Bohr compactification. This...

The dual group of a dense subgroup
Throughout this abstract, is a topological Abelian group and is the space of continuous homomorphisms from into the circle group in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup of is said to determine if the (necessarily continuous) surjective isomorphism given by is a homeomorphism, and is determined if each dense subgroup of determines . The principal result in this area, obtained independently by L. Außenhofer and M. J. Chasco, is the following: Every metrizable group is...

The Interval [0,1] Admits no Functorial Embedding into a Finite-Dimensional or Metrizable Topological Group
An embedding X ⊂ G of a topological space X into a topological group G is called functorial if every homeomorphism of X extends to a continuous group homomorphism of G. It is shown that the interval [0, 1] admits no functorial embedding into a finite-dimensional or metrizable topological group.

The Lévy continuity theorem for nuclear groups
Let G be an abelian topological group. The Lévy continuity theorem says that if G is an LCA group, then it has the following property (PL) a sequence of Radon probability measures on G is weakly convergent to a Radon probability measure μ if and only if the corresponding sequence of Fourier transforms is pointwise convergent to the Fourier transform of μ. Boulicaut [Bo] proved that every nuclear locally convex space G has the property (PL). In this paper we prove that the property (PL) is inherited...
The Lindelöf property and pseudo--compactness in spaces and topological groups
We introduce and study, following Z. Frol’ık, the class of regular -spaces such that the product is pseudo--compact, for every regular pseudo--compact -space . We show that every pseudo--compact space which is locally is in and that every regular Lindelöf -space belongs to . It is also proved that all pseudo--compact -groups are in . The problem of characterization of subgroups of -factorizable (equivalently, pseudo--compact) -groups is considered as well. We give some necessary...

The Ribes-Zalesskii property of some one relator groups
The profinite topology on any abstract group , is one such that the fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity is given by all its subgroups of finite index. We say that a group has the Ribes-Zalesskii property of rank , or is RZ with a natural number, if any product of finitely generated subgroups is closed in the profinite topology on . And a group is said to have the Ribes-Zalesskii property or is RZ if it is RZ for any natural number . In this paper we characterize groups...
