Abstract: We prove that if there are mathfrakc incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal kappa such that kappaomega=kappa, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality kappa without nontrivial convergent sequences and such that every finite power is countably compact. In particular, there are arbitrarily large countably compact groups. This answers a 1992 question of D. Dikranjan and D. Shakhmatov.
