Refining connected topological group topologies on Abelian torsion-free groups (Q1380021)

The authors develop a technique for refining certain topological groups. The main result of the paper is: Theorem. Let \(G\) be a connected Abelian torsion-free group with weight less than or equal to \(\aleph_1\) and cellularity less than or equal to \(\aleph_0\). Then \(G\) admits a strictly finer connected topological group topology satisfying the same cardinality restrictions.
