A note on just-non-\(\Omega \) groups (Q536146)

Let \(\Omega\) be a~prevariety of Hausdorff topological groups. A~topological group~\(G\) is called a~just-non-\(\Omega\)~group (briefly \(JN\Omega\)~group), if \(G\notin\Omega\), but all proper Hausdorff quotients of~\(G\) are in~\(\Omega\). If \(\Omega\) is a~variety, then \(JN\Omega\)~groups are the ones known as \(JNV\)~groups and if \(\Omega\)~is a~prevariety of Lie groups, then \(JN\Omega\)~groups are the ones already studied under the name \(JNL\)~groups. The authors present some theorems on the structure of compact \(JN\Omega\)~groups and present several examples of \(JN\Omega\)~groups.
