The inductive limit of uncountably many compact Abelian groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
In (2), Varopoulos examined the structure of topological groups that are the inductive limits of countably many locally compact Abelian groups. The purpose of this note is to show that the theory does not extend to the case of uncountably many groups. We give two examples, the first to show that the strict inductive limit of uncountably many compact Abelian groups need not be complete, the second to show it need not be separated by its continuous characters. The treatment of this latter half follows closely that given for topological linear spaces by Douady in (l).
