Abstract
According to Cartan, given an ideal of , a sequence in the circle group is said to {\em -converge} to a point if for every neighborhood of in . For a sequence in , let This set is a Borel (hence, Polishable) subgroup of with many nice properties, largely studied in the case when is the ideal of all finite subsets of (so -convergence coincides with the usual one) for its remarkable connection to topological algebra, descriptive set theory and harmonic analysis. We give a complete element-wise description of when for every and under suitable hypotheses on . In the special case when , we obtain an alternative proof of a simplified version of a known result.
