Group Metrics for Graph Products of Cyclic Groups

Abstract

We complement the characterization of the graph products of cyclic groups G(Γ,p)G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p}) admitting a Polish group topology of [9] with the following result. Let G=G(Γ,p)G = G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p}), then the following are equivalent: (i) there is a metric on Γ\Gamma which induces a separable topology in which EΓE_{\Gamma} is closed; (ii) G(Γ,p)G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p}) is embeddable into a Polish group; (iii) G(Γ,p)G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p}) is embeddable into a non-Archimedean Polish group. We also construct left-invariant separable group ultrametrics for G=G(Γ,p)G = G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p}) and Γ\Gamma a closed graph on the Baire space, which is of independent interest.
