Abstract

A topological group GG is called 2-swelling if for any compact subsets A,BGA,B\subset G and elements a,b,cGa,b,c\in G the inclusions aAbBABaA\cup bB\subset A\cup B and aAbBc(AB)aA\cap bB\subset c(A\cap B) are equivalent to the equalities aAbB=ABaA\cup bB=A\cup B and aAbB=c(AB)aA\cap bB=c(A\cap B). We prove that an (abelian) topological group GG is 2-swelling if each 3-generated (resp. 2-generated) subgroup of GG is discrete. This implies that the additive group Q\mathbb Q of rationals is 2-swelling and each locally finite topological group is 2-swelling.
