We establish an analogue of Pontryagin duality for modules over compact discrete valuation rings $R$. Namely, we define the dual of a topological $R$ module to be its continuous $R$-module homomorphisms into $K/R$, the quotient module of…

Let G be an arbitrary finite group and let S and T be two subsets such that |S|>1, |T|>1, and |TS|< |T|+|S|< |G|-1. We show that if |S|< |G|-4|G|^{1/2}+1 then either S is a geometric progression or there exists a non-trivial subgroup H such…

In this notebook, I present duality theory (or theories) of abelian groups with some categorical and categorical topological flavour. I consider writing this notebook as a longer-term project, and its current content and presentation is…

We classify all non-abelian groups G such that there exists a pair (V,W) of absolutely simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over G such that the Nichols algebra of the direct sum of V and W is finite-dimensional under two assumptions: the square…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let $\overline{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. For a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we look…

We consider Akbarov's holomorphic version of the non-commutative Pontryagin duality for a complex Lie group. We prove, under the assumption that $G$ is a Stein group with finitely many components, that (1) the topological Hopf algebra of…

In 2007, B. Poonen (unpublished) studied the $p$--adic closure of a subgroup of rational points on a commutative algebraic group. More recently, J. Bella\"iche asked the same question for the special case of Abelian varieties. These…

Sorin Popa initiated the study of Polish groups which are embeddable into the unitary group of a separable finite von Neumann algebra. Such groups are called of finite type. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for Polish groups to…

The topological group version of the celebrated Banach-Mazur problem asks wether every infinite topological group has a non-trivial separable quotient group. It is known that compact groups have infinite separable metrizable quotient…

We investigate topologies on groups which arise naturally from their algebraic structure, including the Frech\'et-Markov, Hausdorff-Markov, and various kinds of Zariski topologies. Answering a question by Dikranjan and Toller, we show that…

Given a Polish group $G$, let $E(G)$ be the right coset equivalence relation $G^\omega/c(G)$, where $c(G)$ is the group of all convergent sequences in $G$. We first established two results: (1) Let $G,H$ be two Polish groups. If $H$ is TSI…

Inspired by an experimental study of energy-minimizing periodic configurations in Euclidean space, Cohn, Kumar and Sch\"urmann proposed the concept of formal duality between a pair of periodic configurations, which indicates an unexpected…

Self-dual and complementary dual cyclic/abelian codes over finite fields form important classes of linear codes that have been extensively studied due to their rich algebraic structures and wide applications. In this paper, abelian codes…

The goal of this paper is two-fold. First we provide the information needed to study Bol, $A_r$ or Bruck loops by applying group theoretic methods. This information is used in this paper as well as in [BS3] and in [S]. Moreover, we…

We consider the Polish group obtained as the rank-completion of an inductive limit of finite special linear groups. This Polish group is topologically simple modulo its center, it is extremely amenable and has no non-trivial strongly…

We introduce the class of \textit{Generalized Poincar\'{e}-Duality groups}: i.e, pro-$p$ groups of infinite rank which satisfy a Poincar\'{e}-duality. We prove some basic properties of Generalized Poincar\'{e}-Duality groups, and show that…

Let p be a prime. A p-adic functional on a torsion-free abelian group G is a group homomorphism from G to the p-adic integers. The group of all such p-adic functionals is viewed as a p-adic dual group of G, and is studied from the point of…

Let G be an abelian group. For a subset A of G, Cyc(A) denotes the set of all elements x of G such that the cyclic subgroup generated by x is contained in A, and G is said to have the small subgroup generating property (abbreviated to SSGP)…

Generalizing results from \cite{DTk,DU} we study the fine structure of locally minimal (locally) precompact Abelian groups (these are the locally essential subgroups $G$ of LCA groups $L$, i.e., such that $G$ non-trivially meets all…

This article extends the works of Gon\c{c}alves, Guaschi, Ocampo [GGO] and Marin [MAR2] on finite subgroups of the quotients of generalized braid groups by the derived subgroup of their pure braid group. We get explicit criteria for…
