Nondiscrete P-groups can be reflexive

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a series of examples of nondiscrete reflexive P-groups (i.e., groups in which all Gdelta-sets are open) as well as noncompact reflexive omega-bounded groups (in which the closure of every countable set is compact). Our main result implies that every product of feathered (equivalently, almost metrizable) Abelian groups equipped with the P-modified topology is a reflexive group. In particular, every compact Abelian group with the P-modified topology is reflexive. This answers a question posed by S. Hern'andez and P. Nickolas and solves a problem raised by Ardanza-Trevijano, Chasco, Dom'{i}nguez, and Tkachenko.


Let \(G=\prod_{i\in I}D_i\) be a Cartesian product of Abelian groups endowed with a topology defined by the family of subgroups \(\{\prod_{i\in J}D_i:J\subset I\), \(|I\setminus J|\leqslant \aleph_0\}\) as a basis at zero. The authors prove that \(G\) is reflexive. Everything else is around this example.
