Abstract: A.V.Arkhangel'skii asked in 1981 if the variety mathfrakV of topological groups generated by free topological groups on metrizable spaces coincides with the class of all topological groups. We show that if there exists a real-valued measurable cardinal then the variety mathfrakV is a proper subclass of the class of all topological groups. A topological group G is called g-sequential if for any topological group H any sequentially continuous homomorphism GoH is continuous. We introduce the concept of a g-sequential cardinal and prove that a locally compact group is g-sequential if and only if its local weight is not a g-sequential cardinal. The product of a family of non-trivial g-sequential topological groups is g-sequential if and only if the cardinal of this family is not g-sequential. Suppose G is either the unitary group of a Hilbert space or the group of all self-homeomorphisms of a Tikhonov cube. Then G is g-sequential if and only if its weight is not a g-sequential cardinal. Every compact group of Ulam-measurable cardinality admits a strictly finer countably compact group topology.
