Abstract
We prove that if there are incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal such that , there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality without nontrivial convergent sequences and such that every finite power is countably compact. In particular, there are arbitrarily large countably compact groups. This answers a 1992 question of D. Dikranjan and D. Shakhmatov.
