Abstract

We prove that if GG is a totally bounded abelian group \st\ its dual group G^p\widehat{G}_p equipped with the finite-open topology is a Baire group, then every compact subset of GG must be finite. This solves an open question by Chasco, Dom\'inguez and Tkachenko. {Among other consequences, we obtain an example of a group that is gg-dense in its completion but is not gg-barrelled. This solves a question proposed by Auβ{\beta}enhofer and Dikranjan.}
