In this paper we prove that the system of all closed convex -subgroups of a convergence -group is a Brouwer lattice and that a similar result is valid for radical classes of convergence -groups.
Various techniques are presented for constructing (p) sets which are not for all . The main result is that there is a (4) set in the dual of any compact abelian group which is not for all . Along the way to proving this, new constructions are given in dual groups in which constructions were already known of (p) not sets, for certain values of . The main new constructions in specific dual groups are:– there is a (2k) set which is not in for all , and , and in ( a prime,...
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.
