Abstract: The space of closed subgroups of a locally compact topological group is endowed with a natural topology, called the Chabauty topology. We completely describe the space of closed sugroups of the group RxZ, which is not trivial : for example, its fundamental group is uncountable.

Review text

The space \(S(G)\) of subgroups of a locally compact topological group \(G\) can be given a topology, called the Chabauty topology, with respect to which it is compact. Understanding this topology is in general nontrivial. The main result of the paper is a description of the space of subgroups of the group \(\mathbb R\times \mathbb Z\). This space is homeomorphic to a union of an infinite family of discs attached to the Hawaiian earrings. The author describes the attaching maps in detail. He also investigates the fundamental group of \(S(\mathbb R\times \mathbb Z)\) and proves that it contains a subgroup isomorphic to the fundamental group of the Hawaiian earrings.
