We classify the locally compact second-countable (l.c.s.c.) groups $A$ that are abelian and topologically characteristically simple. All such groups $A$ occur as the monolith of some soluble l.c.s.c. group $G$ of derived length at most $3$;…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple group defined over and algebraically closed field, $T$ a fixed Cartan, $B$ a fixed Borel containing $T$, $S$ a set of simple reflections associated to the simple positive roots corresponding to $(T,B)$,…

For abelian groups $A, B$, $A$ is called $B$-small if the covariant functor $Hom(A,-)$ commutes with all direct sums $B^{(\kappa)}$ and $A$ is self-small provided it is $A$-small. The paper characterizes self-small products applying…

Let $G = (G,+)$ be a compact connected abelian group, and let $\mu_G$ denote its probability Haar measure. A theorem of Kneser (generalising previous results of Macbeath and Raikov) establishes the bound $$ \mu_G(A + B) \geq \min(…

We explore the Borel complexity of some basic families of subsets of a countable group (large, small, thin, sparse and other) defined by the size of their elements. Applying the obtained results to the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta…

We prove a sharp bound for the minimal doubling of a small measurable subset of a compact connected Lie group. Namely, let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group of dimension $d_G$, we show that for for all measurable subsets $A$, we have…

Let $G$ be a connected unimodular group equipped with a (left and hence right) Haar measure $\mu_G$, and suppose $A, B \subseteq G$ are nonempty and compact. An inequality by Kemperman gives us…

Let $G$ be a Polish group and let $H \leq G$ be a compact subgroup. We prove that there exists a Borel set $T \subset G$ which is simultaneously a complete set of coset representatives of left and right cosets, provided that a certain index…

We prove that every countable subgroup of a compact metrizable abelian group has a characterizing set. As an application, we answer several questions on maximally almost periodic (MAP) groups and give a characterization of the class of…

We prove the following result due to Hamidoune using an analytic approach. Suppose that A is a subset of a finite group G with |AA^{-1}| \leq (2-\varepsilon)|A|. Then there is a subgroup H of G and a set X of size O_\varepsilon(1) such that…

Let $X$ be a compact metrizable space, and let $\Delta$ be a closed set of Borel probability measures on $X$. We study the small boundary property of the pair $(X, \Delta)$. In particular, it is shown that $(X, \Delta)$ has the small…

Bourgain, Konyagin and Shparlinski obtained a lower bound for the size of the product set AB when A and B are sets of positive rational numbers with numerator and denominator less or equal than Q. We extend and slightly improve that lower…

We consider compact and connected Abelian group $G$ with a linearly ordered dual. Based on the description of the structure of compact Hankel operators over $G$, generalizations of the classical Kronecker, Hartman, Peller and…

We show that if A is a set having small subtractive doubling in an abelian group, that is |A-A|< K|A|, then there is a polynomially large subset B of A-A so that the additive energy of B is large than (1/K)^{1 - \epsilon) where epsilon is a…

In a compact abelian group $X$, a characterized subgroup is a subgroup $H$ such that there exists a sequence of characters $\vs=(v_n)$ of $X$ such that $H=\{x\in X:v_n(x)\to 0 \text{ in } \T\}$. Gabriyelyan proved for $X=\T$, that…

By employing the external Kasparov product, Hawkins, Skalski, White and Zacharias constructed spectral triples on crossed product C$^\ast$-algebras by equicontinuous actions of discrete groups. They further raised the question for whether…

We propose various problems about Borel complexity of characterized subgroups of compact abelian groups, inspired by our forthcoming paper \cite{DI3}.

Let $Bo(T,\tau)$ be the Borel $\sigma$-algebra generated by the topology $\tau$ on $T$. In this paper we show that if $K$ is a Hausdorff compact space, then every subset of $K$ is a Borel set if, and only if,…

Every beginning real analysis student learns the classic Heine-Borel theorem, that the interval [0,1] is compact. In this article, we present a proof of this result that doesn't involve the standard techniques such as constructing a…

The Pl\"unnecke-Ruzsa inequality is a fundamental tool to control the growth of finite subsets of abelian groups under repeated addition and subtraction. Other tools to handle sumsets have gained applicability by being extended to more…
