On closed subgroups of precompact groups
Abstract
It is a Theorem of W.~ W. Comfort and K.~ A. Ross that if is a subgroup of a compact Abelian group, and denotes those continuous homomorphisms from to the one-dimensional torus, then the topology on is the initial topology given by . {Assume that is a subgroup of . We study how} the choice of affects the topological placement and properties of in . Among other results, we have {made significant} progress toward the solution of the following specific questions: How many totally bounded group topologies does admit such that is a closed (dense) subgroup? If denotes the poset of all subgroups of that are -closed, ordered by inclusion, does has a greatest (resp. smallest) element? We say that a totally bounded (topological, resp.) group is an \textit{SC-group} (\textit{topologically simple}, resp.) if all its subgroups are closed (if and are its only possible closed normal subgroups, resp.) {In addition, we investigate the following questions.} How many SC-(topologically simple totally bounded, resp.) group topologies does an arbitrary Abelian group admit?
