The concept of boundedness and the Bohr compactification of a MAP Abelian group

Jorge Galindo, Salvador Hernández (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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 covering property for σ-ideals of compact, sets

Carlos Uzcátegui (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The covering property for σ-ideals of compact sets is an abstract version of the classical perfect set theorem for analytic sets. We will study its consequences using as a paradigm the σ-ideal of countable closed subsets of 2 ω .

The dual group of a dense subgroup

William Wistar Comfort, S. U. Raczkowski, F. Javier Trigos-Arrieta (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Throughout this abstract, G is a topological Abelian group and G ^ is the space of continuous homomorphisms from G into the circle group 𝕋 in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup D of G is said to determine G if the (necessarily continuous) surjective isomorphism G ^ D ^ given by h h | D is a homeomorphism, and G is determined if each dense subgroup of G determines G . 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

M. Ferrer, S. Hernández, V. Uspenskij (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For any topological group G the dual object G ^ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G equipped with the Fell topology. If G is compact, G ^ is discrete. In an earlier paper we proved that G ^ 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 G is an almost metrizable precompact group.

The Dugundji extension property can fail in ωµ -metrizable spaces

Ian Stares, Jerry Vaughan (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that there exist ω μ -metrizable spaces which do not have the Dugundji extension property ( 2 ω 1 with the countable box topology is such a space). This answers a question posed by the second author in 1972, and shows that certain results of van Douwen and Borges are false.

The equivariant universality and couniversality of the Cantor cube

Michael G. Megrelishvili, Tzvi Scarr (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let ⟨G,X,α⟩ be a G-space, where G is a non-Archimedean (having a local base at the identity consisting of open subgroups) and second countable topological group, and X is a zero-dimensional compact metrizable space. Let H ( 0 , 1 ) , 0 , 1 , τ be the natural (evaluation) action of the full group of autohomeomorphisms of the Cantor cube. Then (1) there exists a topological group embedding φ : G H ( 0 , 1 ) ; (2) there exists an embedding ψ : X 0 , 1 , equivariant with respect to φ, such that ψ(X) is an equivariant retract of 0 , 1 with respect to φ...

The existence of initially ω 1 -compact group topologies on free Abelian groups is independent of ZFC

Artur Hideyuki Tomita (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It was known that free Abelian groups do not admit a Hausdorff compact group topology. Tkachenko showed in 1990 that, under CH, a free Abelian group of size admits a Hausdorff countably compact group topology. We show that no Hausdorff group topology on a free Abelian group makes its ω -th power countably compact. In particular, a free Abelian group does not admit a Hausdorff p -compact nor a sequentially compact group topology. Under CH, we show that a free Abelian group does not admit a Hausdorff...
