Extensions of compact continuous maps into decomposable sets
We show that, whenever is a countable abelian group and is a finitely-generated subgroup of , a generic measure-preserving action of on a standard atomless probability space extends to a free measure-preserving action of on . This extends a result of Ageev, corresponding to the case when is infinite cyclic.
The main results concern commutativity of Hewitt-Nachbin realcompactification or Dieudonné completion with products of topological groups. It is shown that for every topological group that is not Dieudonné complete one can find a Dieudonné complete group such that the Dieudonné completion of is not a topological group containing as a subgroup. Using Korovin’s construction of -dense orbits, we present some examples showing that some results on topological groups are not valid for semitopological...
