Abstract

The main goal of the article is to study the Pontryagin duality for Abelian ss- and sbsb-groups. Let GG be an infinite Abelian group and XX be the dual group of the discrete group GdG_d. We show that a dense subgroup HH of XX is g\mathfrak{g}-closed iff HH algebraically is the dual group of GG endowed with some maximally almost periodic ss-topology. Every reflexive Polish Abelian group is g\mathfrak{g}-closed in its Bohr compactification. If a ss-topology τ\tau on a countably infinite Abelian group GG is generated by a countable set of convergent sequences, then the dual group of (G,τ)(G,\tau) is Polish. A non-trivial Hausdorff Abelian topological group is a ss-group iff it is a quotient group of the ss-sum of a family of copies of (Z0N,e)(\mathbb{Z}^\mathbb{N}_0, \mathbf{e}).
