Coarse structures on groups defined by T-sequences

Abstract: A sequence

(a_{n})

in an Abelian group is called a

T

-sequence if there exists a Hausdorff group topology on

G

in which

(a_{n})

converges to

0

. For a

T

-sequence

(a_{n})

,

a u_{(a_{n})}

denotes the strongest group topology on

G

in which

(a_{n})

converges to

0

. The ideal

m a t h c a l I_{(a_{n})}

of all precompact subsets of

(G, a u_{(a_{n})})

defines a coarse structure on

G

with base of entourages

(x, y) : x - y i n P

,

P i n m a t h c a l I_{(a_{n})} .

We prove that

a s d i m (G, m a t h c a l I_{(a_{n})}) = i n f t y

for every non-trivial

T

-sequence

(a_{n})

on

G

, and the coarse group

(G, m a t h c a l I_{(a_{n})})

has 1 end provided that

(a_{n})

generates

G

. The keypart play asymorphic copies of the Hamming space in

(G, m a t h c a l I_{(a_{n})})

.
