The author considers an analog of convexity for topological groups defined by N. Vilenkin in 1951 as follows. A subset \(S\) of a topological group \(G\) is called quasi-convex if for every \(x\in G\backslash S\) there exists a continuous character \(\chi: G\to \mathbb{T}\) such that \(\text{Re} \chi (x)<0\) and \(\text{Re} \chi (y)\geq 0\) for each \(y\in S\). A topological group \(G\) is called locally quasi-convex if it admits a neighborhood basis of zero consisting of quasi-convex sets. By a result of Banaszczyk, a topological vector space is locally convex iff it is a Hausdorff locally quasi-convex group in its additive structure. It is proved that if a Hausdorff Abelian group \(G\) has sufficiently many continuous characters, then it admits a locally quasi-convex group topology which is the strongest among all the locally quasi-convex group topologies weaker than the original topology of \(G\).
