AbstractWe provide a very short elementary proof that every separable abelian group with a bounded invariant metric isometrically embeds into a monothetic group with a bounded invariant metric, in such a way that the result of Morris and Pestov that every separable abelian topological group embeds into a monothetic group is an immediate corollary. We show that the boundedness assumption cannot be dropped.

Suppose that $G$ is a compact Abelian topological group, $m$ is the Haar measure on $G$ and $f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function. Given $(n_{k})$, a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers, we consider the non-conventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages $$\begin{eqnarray}M_{N}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}f(x)=\frac{1}{N+1}\mathop{\sum }_{k=0}^{N}f(x+n_{k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}).\end{eqnarray}$$ The $f$-rotation set is $$\begin{eqnarray}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f}=\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in G:M_{N}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}f(x)\text{ converges for }m\text{ almost every }x\text{ as }N\rightarrow \infty \}.\end{eqnarray}$$We prove that if $G$ is a compact locally connected Abelian group and $f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function then from $m(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f})>0$ it follows that $f\in L^{1}(G)$. A similar result is established for ordinary Birkhoff averages if $G=Z_{p}$, the group of $p$-adic integers. However, if the dual group, $\widehat{G}$, contains ‘infinitely many multiple torsion’ then such results do not hold if one considers non-conventional Birkhoff averages along ergodic sequences. What really matters in our results is the boundedness of the tail, $f(x+n_{k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})/k$, $k=1,\ldots ,$ for almost every $x$ for many $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$; hence, some of our theorems are stated by using instead of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f}$ slightly larger sets, denoted by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f,b}$.

Abstract We translate the articles covering group theory already available in the Mizar Mathematical Library from multiplicative into additive notation. We adapt the works of Wojciech A. Trybulec [41, 42, 43] and Artur Korniłowicz [25]. In particular, these authors have defined the notions of group, abelian group, power of an element of a group, order of a group and order of an element, subgroup, coset of a subgroup, index of a subgroup, conjugation, normal subgroup, topological group, dense subset and basis of a topological group. Lagrange’s theorem and some other theorems concerning these notions [9, 24, 22] are presented. Note that “The term ℤ-module is simply another name for an additive abelian group” [27]. We take an approach different than that used by Futa et al. [21] to use in a future article the results obtained by Artur Korniłowicz [25]. Indeed, Hölzl et al. showed that it was possible to build “a generic theory of limits based on filters” in Isabelle/HOL [23, 10]. Our goal is to define the convergence of a sequence and the convergence of a series in an abelian topological group [11] using the notion of filters.

An abelian topological group can be considered simply as an abelian group or as a topological space. The question considered in this article is whether the topological group structure is determined by these weaker structures. Denote homeomorphism, isomorphism, and homeomorphic isomorphism by ≈, ≅ , and =, respectively. The principal results are these.Theorem 1. If G1andG2are locally compact and connected, then G1≈ G2implies G1= G2.

AbstractWe give some general results concerning continuity of measurable homomorphisms of topological groups. As a consequence we show that a Christensen measurable homomorphism of a Polish abelian group into a locally compact topological group is continuous. We also obtain similar results for the universally measurable homomorphisms and the homomorphisms that have the Baire property.

Our aim is to establish the Lebesgue decomposition for strongly-bounded elements in a topological group. In 1963 Richard Darst established a result giving the Lebesgue decomposition of strongly-bounded elements in a normed Abelian group with respect to an algebra of projection operators. Consequently, one can establish the decomposition of strongly-bounded additive functions defined on an algebra of sets. Analagous results follow for lattices of sets. Generalizing some of the techniques yield decompositions for elements in a topological group.

AbstractIt is well known that the lattice of topologies on a set forms a complete complemented lattice. The set of topologies which make G into a topological group form a complete lattice L(G) which is not a sublattice of the lattice of all topologies on G.Let G be an infinite abelian group. No nontrivial Hausdorff topology in L(G) has a complement in L(G). If τ1 and τ2 are locally compact topologies then τ1Λτ2 is also a locally compact group topology. The situation when G is nonabelian is also considered.

AbstractThe variety of topological groups generated by the class of all abelian kω-groups has been shown to equal the variety of topological groups generated by the free abelian topological group on [0, 1]. In this paper it is proved that the free abelian topological group on a compact Hausdorff space X generates the same variety if and only if X is not scattered.

We prove that any open subgroup of the free abelian topological group on a completely regular space is a free abelian topological group. Moreover, the free topological bases of both groups have the same covering dimension. The prehistory of this result is as follows. The celebrated Nielsen–Schreier theorem states that every subgroup of a free group is free, and it is equally well known that every subgroup of a free abelian group is free abelian. The analogous result is not true for free (abelian) topological groups [1,5]. However, there exist certain sufficient conditions for a subgroup of a free topological group to be topologically free [2]; in particular, an open subgroup of a free topological group on a kω-space is topologically free. The corresponding question for free abelian topological groups asked 8 years ago by Morris [11] proved to be more difficult and remained open even within the realm of kω-spaces. In the present paper a comprehensive answer to this question is obtained.
