Abstract: | It was shown in Bíró et al. (2001) [7] that every cyclic subgroup C of the circle group T admits a characterizing sequence (un) of integers in the sense that unx→0 for some x∈T iff x∈C. More generally, for a subgroup H of a topological (abelian) group G one can define:- (a)
- g(H) to be the set of all elements x of G such that unx→0 in G for all sequences (un) of integers such that unh→0 in G for all h∈H;
- (b)
- H to be g-closed if H=g(H).
We show then that an infinite compact abelian group G has all its cyclic subgroups g-closed iff G≅T. |
