Completions of altered topological subgroups of \mathbb{R}^n

General Topology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We prove that a large class of metrizable group topologies for subgroups of Rn\mathbb{R}^n and the completions of the subgroups are locally isometric to, respectively, metrizable group topologies for Z\mathbb{Z} and their completions, first studied by Nienhuys. This will prove, in particular, that all the complete groups in question are one dimensional, locally totally disconnected, and not locally compact. The metrizable topologies on the subgroups of Rn\mathbb{R}^n are formed by specifying a sequence in Rn\mathbb{R}^n and the rate at which it must converge to the identity.
