Strongly zero-dimensional topological groups $G_1$, $G_2$, and $G$ such that $G_1\times G_2$ has positive covering dimension and $G$ contains a closed subgroup of positive covering dimension are constructed. Moreover, all finite powers of…

Two (strongly) zero-dimensional Lindel\"of topological groups whose product has positive covering dimension are constructed. An example of a Lindel\"of (strongly) zero-dimensional space whose free and free Abelian topological groups are not…

A topological group is locally pseudocompact if it contains a non-empty open set with pseudocompact closure. In this note, we prove that if G is a group with the property that every closed subgroup of G is locally pseudocompact, then G_0 is…

It is known that any covering space of a topological group has the natural structure of a topological group. This article discusses a noncommutative generalization of this fact. A noncommutative generalization of the topological group is a…

An embeddability criterion for zero-dimensional metrizable topological spaces in zero-dimensional metrizable topological groups is given. A space which can be embedded as a closed subspace in a zero-dimensional metrizable group but is not…

The theory of covering spaces is often used to prove the Nielsen-Schreier theorem, which states that every subgroup of a free group is free. We apply the more general theory of semicovering spaces to obtain analogous subgroup theorems for…

Bounded-cohomological dimension of groups is a relative of classical cohomological dimension, defined in terms of bounded cohomology with trivial coefficients instead of ordinary group cohomology. We will discuss constructions that lead to…

We give a structural theorem for pseudofinite groups of finite centraliser dimension. As a corollary, we observe that there is no finitely generated pseudofinite group of finite centraliser dimension.

In this note we construct a closed 4-manifold having torsion-free fundamental group and whose universal covering is of macroscopic dimension 3. This yields a counterexample to Gromov's conjecture about the falling of macroscopic dimension.

In any dimension at least five we construct examples of closed smooth manifolds with the following properties: 1) they have neither real projective nor flat conformal structures; 2) their fundamental group is a non-elementary Gromov…

We introduce the group-compact coarse structure on a Hausdorff topological group in the context of coarse structures on an abstract group which are compatible with the group operations. We develop asymptotic dimension theory for the…

We investigate the universal cover of a topological group that is not necessarily connected. Its existence as a topological group is governed by a Taylor cocycle, an obstruction in 3-cohomology. Alternatively, it always exists as a…

Topos properties of the category of covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid are discussed. A classification result for connected covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid analogous to the fundamental theorem of Galois theory is given.

It is important to classify covering subgroups of the fundamental group of a topological space using their topological properties in the topologized fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce and study some topologies on the fundamental…

It is proved that there is no structure of left (right) cancelative semigroup on $[L]$-dimensional universal space for the class of separable compact spaces of extensional dimension $\le [L]$. Besides, we note that the homeomorphism group…

Every countable topological group $G$ has a closed discrete subset $A$ such that $G=AA^{-1}.$

Without assuming the field structure on the additive group of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ with the usual order $<,$ we explore the fact that every proper subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ is either closed or dense. This property of subgroups of the…

In general a universal covering of a non connected topological group need not admit a topological group structure such that the covering map is a morphism of topological groups. This result is due to R.L. Taylor (1953). We generalise this…

We construct finitely generated simple torsion-free groups with strong homological control. Our main result is that every subset of $\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$, with some obvious exceptions, can be realized as the set of dimensions of…

There are theories of coverings of $C^*$-algebras which can be included into a following list: coverings of commutative $C^*$-algebras, coverings of $C^*$-algebras of groupoids and foliations, coverings of noncommutative tori, the double…
