An LCA group G is called largely open if every large subgroup (that is, subgroup of finite index) of G is open. G is power-open if the continuous endomorphism, g → ng, g ∈ G, takes open sets of G onto open sets of G for every integer n > 1.

This paper originated with our interest in the open question “If every pure subgroup of an LCA group G is closed, must G be discrete ?” that was raised by Armacost. The answer was surprisingly easy, but led to some interesting questions. We attempted to characterise those LCA groups that contain a proper pure dense subgroup, and found that every non-discrete torsion-free LCA group contains a proper pure dense subgroup; so does every non-discrete infinite self-dual torsion LCA group. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a torsion LCA group to contain a proper pure dense subgroup.

The classical Pontrjagin-van Kampen structure theorem states that any locally compact abelian (LCA) group G can be written as the direct product of a vector group Rm (where R denotes the additive group of real numbers with the usual topology, and m is a non-negative integer) and an LCA group H which contains a compact open subgroup. This important theorem, which van Kampen deduced from the work of Pontrjagin, was first stated and proved in [5, p. 461].

In [4], Edwin Hewitt denned a-rich LCA (i.e., locally compact abelian) groups and classified them by their algebraic structure. In this paper, we study LCA groups with some properties related to a-richness. We define an LCA group G to be power-rich if for every open neighbourhood V of the identity in G and for every integer n > 1, λ(nV) > 0, where nV = {nx ∈ G : x ∈ V} and λ is a Haar measure on G. G is power-meagre if for every integer n > 1, there is an open neighbourhood V of the identity, possibly depending on n, such that λ(nV) = 0. G is power-deficient if for every integer n > 1 and for every open neighbourhood V of the identity such that is compact, . G is dual power-rich if both G and Ĝ are power-rich. We define dual power-meagre and dual power-deficient groups similarly.

Let G be a nilpotent group with finite abelian ranks (e.g. let G be a finitely generated nilpotent group) and suppose φ is an automorphism of G of finite order m. If γ and ψ denote the associated maps of G given by \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\gamma :g \mapsto g^{ - 1} \cdot g\phi and \psi :g \mapsto g \cdot g\phi \cdot g\phi ^2 \cdots \cdot \cdot g\phi ^{m - 1} for g \in G,$$ \end{document} then Gγ · kerγ and Gψ · ker ψ are both very large in that they contain subgroups of finite index in G.

The concept of metalinearity in ETOL systems is investigated. Some structural characterizations, a pumping lemma and the closure properties of the resulting class of languages are established. Finally, some applications in the theory of L systems of finite index are provided.

AbstractWe show that a barely transitive group is totally imprimitive if and only if it is locally graded. Moreover, we obtain the description of a barely transitive group G for the case G has a cyclic subgroup 〈x〉 which intersects non-trivially with all subgroups and for the case a point stabilizer H of G has a subgroup H 1 of finite index in H satisfying the identity χ(H 1) = 1, where χ is a multi-linear commutator of weight w.

AbstractIn a recent paper devoted to fault analysis of elliptic curve-based signature schemes, Takahashi et al. (TCHES 2018) described several attacks, one of which assumed an equidistribution property that can be informally stated as follows: given an elliptic curve E over 𝔽q in Weierstrass form and a large subgroup H ⊂ E(𝔽q) generated by G(xG, yG), the points in E(𝔽q) whose x-coordinates are obtained from xG by randomly flipping a fixed, sufficiently long substring of bits (and rejecting cases when the resulting value does not correspond to a point in E(𝔽q)) are close to uniformly distributed among the cosets modulo H. The goal of this note is to formally state, prove and quantify (a variant of) that property, and in particular establish sufficient bounds on the size of the subgroup and on the length of the substring of bits for it to hold. The proof relies on bounds for character sums on elliptic curves established by Kohel and Shparlinski (ANTS–IV).

AbstractIn this paper, it is shown that for a minimal system (X, G), if H is a normal subgroup of G with finite index n, then X can be decomposed into n components of closed sets such that each component is minimal under H-action. Meanwhile, we prove that for a residual set of points in a minimal system with finitely many commuting homeomorphisms, the set of return times to any non-empty open set contains arbitrarily long geometric progressions in multidimension, extending a previous result by Glasscock, Koutsogiannis and Richter.
