Zero-dimensionality of Some Pseudocompact Groups

چکیده
We prove that hereditarily disconnected countably compact groups are zero-dimensional. This gives a strongly positive answer to a question of Shakhmatov. We show that hereditary or total disconnectedness yields zerodimensionality in various classes of pseudocompact groups.

A topological group is locally pseudocompact if it contains a non-empty open set with pseudocompact closure. In this note, we study connectedness and disconnectedness properties of groups G with the property that every closed subgroup of G is locally pseudocompact. We show that the completion of the component G0 of G contains every connected compact subgroup of the completion of G. We also prov...
متن کاملSome results and problems about weakly pseudocompact spaces
A space X is truly weakly pseudocompact if X is either weakly pseudocompact or Lindelöf locally compact. We prove: (1) every locally weakly pseudocompact space is truly weakly pseudocompact if it is either a generalized linearly ordered space, or a protometrizable zero-dimensional space with χ(x,X) > ω for every x ∈ X; (2) every locally bounded space is truly weakly pseudocompact; (3) for ω < κ...
متن کاملExtremal α-pseudocompact abelian groups
Let α be an infinite cardinal. Generalizing a recent result of Comfort and van Mill, we prove that every α-pseudocompact abelian group of weight > α has some proper dense α-pseudocompact subgroup and admits some strictly finer α-pseudocompact group topology.

متن کاملImposing pseudocompact group topologies on Abelian groups
The least cardinal λ such that some (equivalently: every) compact group with weight α admits a dense, pseudocompact subgroup of cardinality λ is denoted by m(α). Clearly, m(α) ≤ 2. We show: Theorem 3.3. Among groups of cardinality γ, the group ⊕γQ serves as a “test space” for the availability of a pseudocompact group topology in this sense: If m(α) ≤ γ ≤ 2 then ⊕γQ admits a (necessarily connect...
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...
