A topological group \(G\) is called \(\mathbb R\)-factorizable (\(\mathcal M\)-factorizable) if for every continuous real-valued function \(f\) on \(G\), there exists a continuous homomorphism \(\pi\) of \(G\) onto a second metrizable (metrizable) group \(M\) such that \(f=g\circ\pi\), for some continuous real-valued function \(g\) on \(M\). The class of \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups contains the class of metrizable groups and the class of \(\mathbb R\)-factorizable groups. The authors claim that the class of \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups ``...is a kind of unification of the metrizability and compactness concepts in topological groups.... A topological group is called feathered if it contains a compact subset of countable character. In the paper are proved several results concerning \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups and feathered \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups. Section 3 contains important results concerning feathered \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups. It is proved that a feathered topological group \(G\) is \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable if and only if \(G\) is either metrizable or \(\mathbb R\)-factorizable (Theorem 3.3). A feathered topological group \(G\) is \(\mathbb R\)-factorizable if and only if \(G\) is a Lindelöf \(\Sigma\)-group (Theorem 3.4). The authors study in section 4 subgroups of \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable group, It is proved that that a Čech-complete \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable subgroup \(H\) of a topological group \(G\) is \(C\)-embedded in \(G\) (Theorem 4.13). Products of \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups are studied in section 5. Homomorphic images of \(\mathcal M\)-factorizable groups are studied in section 6.
