Pseudocompact groups : progress and problems ✩

چکیده
Several months ago the speaker and Jan van Mill gave a proof of this result [W.W. Comfort, J. van Mill, Extremal pseudocompact abelian groups are compact metrizable, Abstracts Amer. Math. Soc. 27 (2006) 78 (Abstract #1014-22-958); W.W. Comfort, J. van Mill, Extremal pseudocompact abelian groups are compact metrizable, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007) 4039–4044]: A pseudocompact abelian group of uncountable weight admits both a proper dense pseudocompact subgroup and a strictly larger pseudocompact group topology. This presentation will describe both the necessary new details of the argument and the historical development (useful tools, special cases). Among those who contributed essentially are: K.A. Ross (1964, 1966); T. Soundararajan (1982); L.C. Robertson (1982, 1988); J. van Mill (1989); J. van Mill and H. Gladdines (1994); J. Galindo (2002). Several related unsolved problems will be cited. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Some 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 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 کاملExtremal pseudocompact Abelian groups : A unified treatment
The authors have shown [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007), 4039– 4044] that every nonmetrizable, pseudocompact abelian group has both a proper dense pseudocompact subgroup and a strictly finer pseudocompact group topology. Here they give a comprehensive, direct and self-contained proof of this result.
متن کاملExtremal Pseudocompact Abelian Groups Are Compact Metrizable
Every pseudocompact Abelian group of uncountable weight has both a proper dense pseudocompact subgroup and a strictly finer pseudocompact group topology.
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.
