Arcs in the Pontryagin dual of a topological abelian group

چکیده
In this article we study the arcwise connected component in the Pontryagin dual of an abelian topological group. It is clear that the set of continuous characters that can be lifted over the reals is contained in the arcwise connected component of the dual group. We show that the converse is true if all arcs in the character group are equicontinuous sets. This property is present in Pontryagin duals of pseudocompact groups, of reflexive groups and of groups which are k-spaces as topological spaces. We study the meaning of such a property and its presence in groups and vector spaces endowed with weak topologies. We also characterize the image of the exponential mapping of a dual group as formed by those characters which can be lifted over the reals endowed with the Bohr topology.

متن کاملTopology Proceedings 37 (2011) pp. 315-330: Continuous and Pontryagin duality of topological groups
For Pontryagin’s group duality in the setting of locally compact topological Abelian groups, the topology on the character group is the compact open topology. There exist at present two extensions of this theory to topological groups which are not necessarily locally compact. The first, called the Pontryagin dual, retains the compact-open topology. The second, the continuous dual, uses the cont...
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...
متن کاملPontryagin duality in the class of precompact Abelian groups and the Baire property
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 ...
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
