A note on partitions of groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Every infinite group G of regular cardinality can be partitioned G=A1cupA2 so that GeqFA1, GeqFA2 for every subset FsubsetG of cardinality |F|<|G|. The first author asked whether the same is true for each group G of singular cardinality. We show that an answer depends on the algebraic structure of G. In particular, this is so for each free group but the statement does not hold for every Abelian group G of singular cardinality. As an application, we prove that every Abelian group of singular cardinality k admits maximal translation invariant k-bounded topology that impossible for all groups of regular cardinality.
