We establish how a higher local field can be described as a locally convex vector space once an embedding of a local field into it has been fixed. This extends previous results that had been obtained in the two-dimensional case. In…

We present a simple-to-apply criterion for recognizing topological groups that are (locally) homeomorphic to LF-spaces.

In this paper we give sufficient conditions under which a subsemigroup of a topological group is a subgroup, adding to the results given in \cite{Kosh, can, axioms, forum, Hof, cc, locally} where conditions exist (such as locally…

We give a classification of connected abelian locally (real) Nash groups of dimension two. We first consider Painlev\'e's description of meromorphic maps admitting an Algebraic Addition Theorem and analyse the algebraic dependence of such…

We establish that a second countable locally compact groupoid possessing a continuous Haar system is topologically amenable if and only if it is Borel amenable. We give some examples and applications.

Let $G$ be a group and $\sigma, \tau$ be topological group topologies on $G$. We say that $\sigma$ is a successor of $\tau$ if $\sigma$ is strictly finer than $\tau$ and there is not a group topology properly between them. In this note, we…

We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…

We study the algorithmic content of Pontryagin - van Kampen duality. We prove that the dualization is computable in the important cases of compact and locally compact totally disconnected Polish abelian groups. The applications of our main…

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 give some new characterizations of exactness for locally compact second countable groups. In particular, we prove that a locally compact second countable group is exact if and only if it admits a topologically amenable action on a…

We construct some new cohomology theories for topological groups and Lie groups and study some of its basic properties. For example, we introduce a cohomology theory based on measurable cochains which are continuous in a neighbourhood of…

We give a general description of the structure of a discrete double groupoid (with an extra, quite natural, filling condition) in terms of groupoid factorizations and groupoid 2-cocycles with coefficients in abelian group bundles. Our…

We extend the results by R.P. Langlands on representations of (connected) abelian algebraic groups. This is done by considering characters into any divisible abelian topological group. With this we can then prove what is known as the…

While topology given by a linear order has been extensively studied, this cannot be said about the case when the order is given only locally. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. We consider relation between local orderability and…

We show that any second-countable \'etale groupoid with polynomial growth is topologically amenable. If its unit space is compact and metrizable, we show that the groupoid has weak $m$-comparison. Thus if the groupoid is also ample and…

Recently the adjoint algebraic entropy of endomorphisms of abelian groups was introduced and studied. We generalize the notion of adjoint entropy to continuous endomorphisms of topological abelian groups. Indeed, the adjoint algebraic…

Cohomology of a topological space with coefficients in stacks of abelian 2-groups is considered. A 2-categorical analog of the theorem of Grothendieck is proved, relating cohomology of the space with coefficients in a 2-stage spectrum and…

We prove a Tits alternative theorem for groups acting on CAT(0) cubical complexes. Namely, suppose that $G$ is a group for which there is a bound on the orders of its finite subgroups. We prove that if $G$ acts properly on a…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…

A topological group $G$ is called 2-swelling if for any compact subsets $A,B\subset G$ and elements $a,b,c\in G$ the inclusions $aA\cup bB\subset A\cup B$ and $aA\cap bB\subset c(A\cap B)$ are equivalent to the equalities $aA\cup bB=A\cup…
