Locally minimal topological groups. II (Q536259)

[Part I in ibid. 370, No.~2, 431--452 (2010; Zbl 1225.22002).] The minimality criterion for dense subgroups of compact groups is extended to local minimality. Using this criterion, the compact abelian groups containing dense countable locally minimal subgroups as well as those containing dense locally minimal subgroups of countable free-rank are characterized. The authors also characterize the compact abelian groups whose torsion part is dense and locally minimal.
