Abstract: The paper deals with group dualities. A group duality is simply a pair (G,H) where G is an abstract abelian group and H a subgroup of characters defined on G. A group topology au defined on G is {it compatible} with the group duality (also called dual pair) (G,H) if G equipped with au has dual group H. A topological group (G,au) gives rise to the natural duality (G,Gwedge), where Gwedge stands for the group of continuous characters on G. We prove that the existence of a g-barrelled topology on G compatible with the dual pair (G,Gwedge) is equivalent to the semireflexivity in Pontryagin's sense of the group Gwedge endowed with the pointwise convergence topology sigma(Gwedge,G). We also deal with k-group topologies. We prove that the existence of k-group topologies on G compatible with the duality (G,Gwedge) is determined by a sort of completeness property of its Bohr topology sigma(G,Gwedge) (Theorem 3.3).
