Abstract: For a compact Hausdorff abelian group K and its subgroup H, one defines the g-closure g(H) of H in K as the subgroup consisting of chiinK such that chi(an)longrightarrow0 in T=R/Z for every sequence {a_n} in hatK (the Pontryagin dual of K) that converges to 0 in the topology that H induces on hatK. We prove that every countable subgroup of a compact Hausdorff group is g-closed, and thus give a positive answer to two problems of Dikranjan, Milan and Tonolo. We also show that every g-closed subgroup of a compact Hausdorff group is realcompact. The techniques developed in the paper are used to construct a close relative of the closure operator g that coincides with the Gdelta-closure on compact Hausdorff abelian groups, and thus captures realcompactness and pseudocompactness of subgroups.
