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…

A locally compact groupoid is said to have the weak containment property if its full $C^*$-algebra coincides with its reduced one. This property is strictly weaker than amenability and is known to be equivalent to amenability for…

We prove the existence and uniqueness of geometric models of local isometry classes of locally homogeneous spaces with sectional curvature $|\operatorname{sec}|\leq 1$. Moreover, we show that the set of geometric models is compact in the…

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 $3$;…

We study topological groups having all closed subgroups (totally) minimal and we call such groups c-(totally) minimal. We show that a locally compact c-minimal connected group is compact. Using a well-known theorem of Hall and Kulatilaka…

An action of a group $G$ on a compact space $X$ is called weakly almost periodic if the orbit of every continuous function on $X$ is weakly relatively compact in $C(X)$. We observe that for a topological group $G$ the following are…

Let (G,tau_G) be a topological group. We establish relationships between weakly almost periodic topologies on G coarser than tau_G, central idempotents in the weakly almost periodic compactification G^W, and certain ideals in the algebra of…

We will study two subclasses of the class of feebly compact spaces in the class of (para)topological groups, the compact-bounded and weakly compact-bounded spaces, both introduced by J. Angoa, Y. F. Ortiz-Castillo and A. Tamariz-Mascar\'ua…

A dual pair formulation for asymmetric locally convex spaces is developed that strictly generalises the ordinary vector space setting. The concept of a polar topology carries over to the asymmetric case and some familiar results are…

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…

In this article we study locally compact abelian (LCA) groups from the viewpoint of derived categories, using that their category is quasi-abelian in the sense of J.-P. Schneiders. We define a well-behaved derived Hom-complex with values in…

A subspace Y of a separable metrizable space X is separable, but without X metrizable this is not true even If Y is a closed linear subspace of a topological vector space X. K.H. Hofmann and S.A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie…

The notion of super weak compactness for subsets of Banach spaces is a strengthening of the weak compactness that can be described as a local version of super-reflexivity. A recent result of K. Tu which establishes that the closed convex…

The Banach algebra LUC(G)* associated to a topological group G has been of interest in abstract harmonic analysis. A number of authors have studied the topological centre of LUC(G)*, which is defined as the set of elements in LUC(G)* for…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

We prove that each closed locally continuum- connected subspace of a finite dimensional topological group is locally compact. This allows us to construct many 1-dimensional metrizable separable spaces that are not homeomorphic to closed…

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic…

For a locally compact group $G$, we show that it is possible to present the class of continuous unitary representations of $G$ as an elementary class of metric structures, in the sense of continuous logic. More precisely, we show how…

The class of locally compact near abelian groups is introduced and investigated as a class of metabelian groups formalizing and applying the concept of scalar multiplication. The structure of locally compact near abelian groups and its…

In this brief article we characterize the relatively compact subsets of $\mathcal{A}^p$ for the topology $\sigma(\mathcal{A}^p,\mathcal{R}^q)$ (see below), by the weak compact subsets of $L^p$ . The spaces $\mathcal{R}^q$ endowed with the…
