A note on B- and Br- incomplete topological Abelian groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
From results of Baker (2) it appeared to be unlikely that, in Hausdorff topological Abelian groups, completeness would be implied by Br- or B-completeness (for definitions, see below). We show here (Corollary 1) that the group of all complex roots of unity, though not complete, is B-complete. Another example, for the suggestion of which we are indebted to Dr J. W. Baker, is used to show (Corollary 2) that B-completeness is not a consequence of Br-completeness. It is proved, however, that B- and Br-complete Hausdorff topological Abelian groups are embedded in their completions in special ways in relation to the closed subgroups of the completions. Also, the completions of B- and Br-complete Hausdorff topological Abelian groups are shown to be, respectively, B- and Br-complete.
