Computably locally compact groups and their closed subgroups
Abstract
Given a computably locally compact Polish space , we show that its 1-point compactification is computably compact. Then, for a computably locally compact group , we show that the Chabauty space of closed subgroups of has a canonical effectively-closed (i.e., ) presentation as a subspace of the hyperspace of closed sets of . We construct a computable discrete abelian group such that is not computably closed in ; in fact, the only computable points of are the trivial group and itself, while is uncountable. In the case that a computably locally compact group is also totally disconnected, we provide a further algorithmic characterization of in terms of the countable meet groupoid of introduced recently by the authors (arXiv: 2204.09878). We apply our results and techniques to show that the index set of the computable locally compact abelian groups that contain a closed subgroup isomorphic to is arithmetical.
