Abstract

Let XX be a compact metrizable abelian group and u={un}\mathbf{u}=\{u_n\} be a sequence in its dual XX^{\wedge}. Set su(X)={x:(un,x)1}s_{\mathbf{u}} (X)= \{x: (u_n,x)\to 1\} and T0H={(zn)T:zn1}\mathbb{T}_0^H = \{(z_n)\in \mathbb{T}^{\infty} : z_n\to 1 \}. Let GG be a subgroup of XX. We prove that G=su(X)G=s_{\mathbf{u}} (X) for some u\mathbf{u} iff it can be represented as some dually closed subgroup GuG_{\mathbf{u}} of ClXG×T0H{\rm Cl}_X G \times \mathbb{T}_0^H. In particular, su(X)s_{\mathbf{u}} (X) is polishable. Let u={un}\mathbf{u}=\{u_n\} be a TT-sequence. Denote by (X^,u)(\widehat{X}, \mathbf{u}) the group XX^{\wedge} equipped with the finest group topology in which un0u_n \to 0. It is proved that (X^,u)=Gu(\widehat{X}, \mathbf{u})^{\wedge} =G_{\mathbf{u}} and n(X^,u)=su(X)\mathbf{n} (\widehat{X}, \mathbf{u}) = s_{\mathbf{u}} (X)^{\perp}. We also prove that the group generated by a Kronecker set can not be characterized.
