A topological group $(G,\mu)$ from a class $\mathcal G$ of MAP topological abelian groups will be called a {\it Mackey group} in $\mathcal G$ if it has the following property: if $\nu$ is a group topology in $G$ such that $(G,\nu)\in…
We prove group existence and structure theorems in a general setting of tame topological theories. More precisely, we identify a linear/non-linear dividing line -- called topological 1-basedness -- among the class of t-minimal theories with…
Let F be a local field of positive characteristic, and let G be either a Heisenberg group over F, or a certain (nonabelian) two-dimensional unipotent group over F. If H is an arithmetic subgroup of G, we provide an explicit description of…
We define an integer-valued invariant of special cube complexes called the genus, and prove that having genus one characterizes special cube complexes with abelian fundamental group. Using the genus, we obtain a new proof that the…
We determine a condition on the minimum Hamming weight of some special abelian group codes and, as a consequence of this result, we establish that any such code is, up to permutational equivalence, a subspace of the direct sum of $s$ copies…
A paratopological group $G$ is saturated if the inverse $U^{-1}$ of each non-empty set $U\subset G$ has non-empty interior. It is shown that a [first-countable] paratopological group $H$ is a closed subgroup of a saturated (totally bounded)…
For a variety of finite groups $\mathbf H$, let $\overline{\mathbf H}$ denote the variety of finite semigroups all of whose subgroups lie in $\mathbf H$. We give a characterization of the subsets of a finite semigroup that are pointlike…
We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebraic set in a group to have a fully characteristic radical. As a result, we see that if the radical of a system of equation $S$ over a group $G$ is fully characteristic, then there…
It is well known that every locally compact abelian group L can be decomposed as L_1 \oplus R^n, where L_1 contains a compact-open subgroup. In this paper, we use this decomposition to study the topological group Aut(L) of automorphisms of…
A group G is (finitely) co-Hopfian if it does not contain any proper (finite-index) subgroups isomorphic to itself. We study finitely generated groups G that admit a descending chain of proper normal finite-index subgroups, each of which is…
Every countable topological group $G$ has a closed discrete subset $A$ such that $G=AA^{-1}.$
Let $G$ be a finite group and $cd(G)$ denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is an almost simple group whose socle is Mathieu group such that $cd(G)…
For almost finite groupoids, we study how their homology groups reflect dynamical properties of their topological full groups. It is shown that two clopen subsets of the unit space has the same class in H_0 if and only if there exists an…
We show that the Heisenberg type group $H_X=(\Bbb{Z}_2 \oplus V) \leftthreetimes V^{\ast}$, with the discrete Boolean group $V:=C(X,\Z_2)$, canonically defined by any Stone space $X$, is always minimal. That is, $H_X$ does not admit any…
A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections.…
Suppose $M$ is a countable ab-initio (uncollapsed) generic structure which is obtained from a pre-dimension function with rational coefficients. We show that if $H$ is a subgroup of $\mbox{Aut}\left(M\right)$ with…
Let $\phi: G \rightarrow H$ be a group homomorphism such that $H$ is a totally disconnected locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group and the image of $\phi$ is dense. We show that all such homomorphisms arise as completions of $G$ with respect to…
If G is a locally essential subgroup of a compact abelian group K, then: (i) t(G)=w(G)=w(K), where t(G) is the tightness of G; (ii) if G is radial, then K must be metrizable; (iii) G contains a super-sequence S converging to 0 such that…
It is a Theorem of W.~ W. Comfort and K.~ A. Ross that if $G$ is a subgroup of a compact Abelian group, and $S$ denotes those continuous homomorphisms from $G$ to the one-dimensional torus, then the topology on $G$ is the initial topology…
We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…
