Abstract

We consider the following question: for which metrizable separable spaces $X$ does the free abelian topological group $A(X\oplus X)$ isomorphically embed into $A(X)$. While for many natural spaces $X$ such an embedding exists, our main result shows that if $X$ is a Cook continuum or $X$ is a rigid Bernstein set, then $A(X\oplus X)$ does not embed into $A(X)$ as a topological subgroup. The analogous statement is true for the free boolean group $B(X)$.
