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 combinatorial derivation and its inverse mapping
Let G be a group and P G be the Boolean algebra of all subsets of G. A mapping Δ: P G → P G defined by Δ(A) = {g ∈ G: gA ∩ A is infinite} is called the combinatorial derivation. The mapping Δ can be considered as an analogue of the topological derivation d: P X→ P X, A ↦ A d, where X is a topological space and A d is the set of all limit points of A. We study the behaviour of subsets of G under action of Δ and its inverse mapping ∇. For example, we show that if G is infinite and I is an ideal in...

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 dual space of precompact groups
For any topological group the dual object is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of equipped with the Fell topology. If is compact, is discrete. In an earlier paper we proved that is discrete for every metrizable precompact group, i.e. a dense subgroup of a compact metrizable group. We generalize this result to the case when is an almost metrizable precompact group.
