A discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…

A topological space $X$ is said to be {\em $Y$-rigid} if any continuous map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is constant. In this paper we construct a number of examples of regular countably compact $\mathbb R$-rigid spaces with additional properties…

In this article we describe the $G\times G$-equivariant $K$-ring of $X$, where $X$ is a regular compactification of a connected complex reductive algebraic group $G$. Furthermore, in the case when $G$ is a semisimple group of adjoint type,…

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…

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff space, where $X$ is an infinite set. The compact complement topology $\tau^{\star}$ on $X$ is defined by: $\tau^{\star}=\{\emptyset\} \cup \{X\setminus M, \text{where $M$ is compact in $(X,\tau)$}\}$. In this…

In this paper, we study the uniformities on the double coset spaces in topological groups. As an implication, the quotient spaces of topological groups with a $q$-point are studied. It mainly shows that: (1) Suppose that $G$ is a…

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…

Given a Tychonoff space $X$, let $F(X)$ and $A(X)$ be respectively the free topological group and the free Abelian topological group over $X$ in the sense of Markov. In this paper, we consider two topological properties of $F(X)$ or $A(X)$,…

We consider an arbitrary topological group $G$ definable in a structure $\mathcal M$, such that some basis for the topology of $G$ consists of sets definable in $\mathcal M$. To each such group $G$ we associate a compact $G$-space of…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, denote by $\mathfrak{P}$ the family of topological properties $\mathcal{P}$ of being a convergent sequence or being a compact, sequentially compact, countably compact, pseudocompact and functionally bounded subset…

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…

Let $T$ be a torus of dimension $n>1$ and $M$ a compact $T-$manifold. $M$ is a GKM manifold if the set of zero dimensional orbits in the orbit space $M/T$ is zero dimensional and the set of one dimensional orbits in $M/T$ is one…

Finite-sheeted covering mappings onto compact connected groups are studied. It is shown that a finite-sheeted covering mapping from a connected Hausdorff topological space onto a compact connected abelian group G must be a homeomorphism…

This paper is devoted to the study of topological quotients of compact linear Lie groups. More precisely, it investigates the question of when such a quotient is a topological or a smooth manifold. The topological quotient of a finite…

When a topological group $G$ acts on a compact space $X$, its enveloping semigroup $E(X)$ is the closure of the set of $g$-translations, $g\in G$, in the compact space $X^X$. Assume that $X$ is metrizable. It has recently been shown by the…

A topological group $G$ is called an $M_\omega$-group if it admits a countable cover $\K$ by closed metrizable subspaces of $G$ such that a subset $U$ of $G$ is open in $G$ if and only if $U\cap K$ is open in $K$ for every $K\in\K$. It is…

Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.

For a non-compact metrizable space $X$, let ${\mathcal E}(X)$ be the set of all one-point metrizable extensions of $X$, and when $X$ is locally compact, let ${\mathcal E}_K(X)$ denote the set of all locally compact elements of ${\mathcal…
