Abstract: A sequence $a_n$ in a group $G$ is a {em $T$-sequence} if there is a Hausdorff group topology $au$ on $G$ such that $a_{n}stackrelaulongrightarrow0$. In this paper, we provide several sufficient conditions for a sequence in an abelian group to be a $T$-sequence, and investigate special sequences in the Pr"ufer groups $mathbbZ(p^{i}nfty)$. We show that for $peq2$, there is a Hausdorff group topology $au$ on $mathbbZ(p^{i}nfty)$ that is determined by a $T$-sequence, which is close to being maximally almost-periodic--in other words, the von Neumann radical $mathbfn(mathbbZ(p^{i}nfty),au)$ is a non-trivial finite subgroup. In particular, $mathbfn(mathbfn(mathbbZ(p^{i}nfty),au))subsetneqmathbfn(mathbbZ(p^{i}nfty),au)$. We also prove that the direct sum of any infinite family of finite abelian groups admits a group topology determined by a $T$-sequence with non-trivial finite von Neumann radical.

Review text

A sequence \((a_{n})_{n}\) of elements of a group \(G\) is called a \(T\)-sequence if there exists a Hausdorff group topology \(\tau \) on \(G\) such that \(a_{n}@>\tau>>0\). In such a case the finest group topology with this property is called the group topology determined by the \(T\)-sequence \((a_{n})_{n}\). The author provides sufficient conditions for a sequence in an abelian group to be a \(T\)-sequence. A Hausdorff topological group \(G\) such that the von Neumann radical \({\mathbf n}(G)\) is non-trivial and finite is called almost maximally almost-periodic. Another result from this paper states that the direct sum of any infinite family of finite abelian groups admits an almost maximally almost-periodic group topology determined by a \(T\)-sequence. By investigating special sequences of Prüfer groups, the author proves that for \(p\neq 2\), \({\mathbb Z}(p^{\infty })\) admits neither a maximally nor a minimally almost-periodic Hausdorff group topology \(\tau \). Consequently \({\mathbf n}({\mathbb Z}(p^{\infty }),\tau )\) is finite and \({\mathbf n}({\mathbf n}({\mathbb Z}(p^{\infty }),\tau ))\) is strictly contained in \({\mathbf n}({\mathbb Z}(p^{\infty }),\tau )\).
