Pontryagin duality in the class of precompact Abelian groups and the Baire property
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a wide class of reflexive, precompact, non-compact, Abelian topological groupsG determined by three requirements. They must have the Baire property, satisfy the open refinement condition, and contain no infinite compact subsets. This combination of properties guarantees that all compact subsets of the dual group G are finite. We also show that many (non-reflexive) precompact Abelian groups are quotients of reflexive precompact Abelian groups. This includes all precompact almost metrizable groups with the Baire property and their products. Finally, given a compact Abelian group G of weight ≥ 2, we find proper dense subgroups H1 and H2 of G such that H1 is reflexive and pseudocompact, while H2 is non-reflexive and almost metrizable.

An elementary approach to Haar integration and Pontryagin duality in locally compact abelian groups
We offer an elementary proof of Pontryagin duality theorem for compact and discrete abelian groups. To this end we make use of an elementary proof of Peter-Weyl theorem due to Prodanov that makes no recourse to Haar integral. As a long series of applications of this approach we obtain proofs of Bohr von Neumann’s theorem on almost periodic functions, Comfort-Ross’ theorem on the description of ...

متن کاملDuality for Sin-groups
The well-known duality theorem of Pontryagin and van Kampen [27, 20] states that the characters of an Abelian locally compact group G also form a group Ĝ, and the group of characters of Ĝ is isomorphic to G. For non-Abelian groups, there is no such duality. In a few words, difficulties on this way arise from the fact that the dual space of a noncommutative group, however defined, has no natural...
متن کاملPseudocompact Group Topologies with No Infinite Compact Subsets
We show that every Abelian group satisfying a mild cardinal inequality admits a pseudocompact group topology from which all countable subgroups inherit the maximal totally bounded topology (we say that such a topology satisfies property ♯). This criterion is used in conjunction with an analysis of the algebraic structure of pseudocompact groups to obtain, under the Generalized Continuum Hypothe...
متن کاملThe Pontryagin duals of Q/Z and Q
Write S = {z ∈ C : |z| = 1}. A character of a locally compact abelian group G is a continuous group homomorphism G → S. We denote by Ĝ the set of characters of G, where for φ1, φ2 ∈ Ĝ and x ∈ G, we define (φ1φ2)(x) = φ1(x)φ2(x). We assign Ĝ the final topology for the family of functions {φ 7→ φ(x) : x ∈ G}, i.e., the coarsest topology on Ĝ so that for each x ∈ G, the function φ 7→ φ(x) is conti...
