Group topologies on the integers and \(S\)-unit equations (Q2191388): Difference between revisions

\textit{E. G. Zelenyuk} and \textit{I. V. Protasov} [Math. USSR, Izv. 37, No. 2, 445--460 (1991; Zbl 0728.22003); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 54, No. 5, 1090--1107 (1990)] introduced the concept of \(T\)-sequence. A sequence of integers is called a \(T\)-sequence if there exists a Hausdorff group topology on the integers such that the sequence converges to \(0\). Let \(S\) be a finite set of primes. An integer is called an \(S\)-integer if it is divisible only by primes from \(S\). The author proves that if \(S\) be a nonempty finite set of primes then there is \(T\)-sequence of \(S\) integers \(\{s_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\) such that every sequence of \(S\)-integers \(\{d_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\) with \(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} |d_n| = \infty\) converges to \(0\) in \(\mathbb{Z}\{s_n\}\) (here \(\mathbb{Z}\{s_n\}\) denote \(\mathbb{Z}\) with some special topology). The consequences from this theorem give the positive answer to one of the questions of \textit{I. V. Protasov} and \textit{E. G. Zelenuk} [Mat. Stud. 12, No. 1, 111 (1999; Zbl 0948.22006)].
