چکیده

Given a Tychonoff space X and classes U and V of topological groups, we say that a topological group G = G(X, U, V) is a free (U, V)-group over X if (a) X is a subspace of G, (b) GE U, and (c) every continuous f:X+ H with H EV extends uniquely to a continuous homomorphism _?: G + H. For certain classes U and V, we consider the question of the existence of free (U, V)groups. Our principal results are the following. Let PA and CA denote, respectively, the class of pseudocompact Abelian groups and the class of compact Abelian groups. Then (a) there is a free (PA, PA)-group over X iff X =0; and (b) there is for each X a free (PA, CA)-group over X in which X is closed.

On Schur Multipliers of Pairs and Triples of Groups with Topological Approach

In this paper, using a relation between Schur multipliers of pairs and triples of groups, the fundamental group and homology groups of a homotopy pushout of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, we present among other things some behaviors of Schur multipliers of pairs and triples with respect to free, amalgamated free, and direct products and also direct limits of groups with topological approach.

On categories of merotopic, nearness, and filter algebras

We study algebraic properties of categories of Merotopic, Nearness, and Filter Algebras. We show that the category of filter torsion free abelian groups is an epireflective subcategory of the category of filter abelian groups. The forgetful functor from the category of filter rings to filter monoids is essentially algebraic and the forgetful functor from the category of filter groups to the cat...

SEMIGROUP ACTIONS , WEAK ALMOST PERIODICITY, AND INVARIANT MEANS

Let S be a topological semigroup acting on a topological space X. We develop the theory of (weakly) almost periodic functions on X, with respect to S, and form the (weakly) almost periodic compactifications of X and S, with respect to each other. We then consider the notion of an action of Son a Banach space, and on its dual, and after defining S-invariant means for such a space, we give a...

A note on quasi irresolute topological groups

In this study, we investigate the further properties of quasi irresolute topological groups defined in [20]. We show that if a group homomorphism f between quasi irresolute topological groups is irresolute at $e_G$, then $f$ is irresolute on $G$. Later we prove that in a semi-connected quasi irresolute topological group $(G,*,tau )$, if $V$ is any symmetric semi-open neighborhood of $e_G$, then...
