Classification of self-dual torsion-free LCA groups

S. Wu (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In this paper we seek to describe the structure of self-dual torsion-free LCA groups. We first present a proof of the structure theorem of self-dual torsion-free metric LCA groups. Then we generalize the structure theorem to a larger class of self-dual torsion-free LCA groups. We also give a characterization of torsion-free divisible LCA groups. Consequently, a complete classification of self-dual divisible LCA groups is obtained; and any self-dual torsion-free LCA group can be regarded as an open...

Connected LCA groups are sequentially connected

Shou Lin, Mihail G. Tkachenko (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that every connected locally compact Abelian topological group is sequentially connected, i.e., it cannot be the union of two proper disjoint sequentially closed subsets. This fact is then applied to the study of extensions of topological groups. We show, in particular, that if H is a connected locally compact Abelian subgroup of a Hausdorff topological group G and the quotient space G / H is sequentially connected, then so is G .

Covering locally compact groups by less than 2 ω many translates of a compact nullset

Márton Elekes, Árpád Tóth (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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 C E K is the well known compact nullset considered first by Erdős and Kakutani then ℝ can be covered by cof() many translates of C E K . As this set has no analogue in more general groups, it was asked by Elekes and Stepr mans whether such a result holds for...

Extremal pseudocompact Abelian groups: A unified treatment

William Wistar Comfort, Jan van Mill (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The authors have shown [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007), 4039--4044] that every nonmetrizable, pseudocompact abelian group has both a proper dense pseudocompact subgroup and a strictly finer pseudocompact group topology. Here they give a comprehensive, direct and self-contained proof of this result.
