SSGP topologies on free groups of infinite rank

groups of infinite rank with a normalizer condition on subgroups

groups of infinite rank in which every subgroup is either normal or self-normalizing are characterized in terms of their subgroups of infinite rank.

Profinite Topologies in Free Products of Groups

Let H be an abstract group and let C be a variety of finite groups (i.e., a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, quotients and finite direct products); for example the variety of all finite p-groups, for a fixed prime p. Consider the smallest topology on H such that all the homomorphism H −→ C from H to any group C ∈ C (endowed with the discrete topology) is continuous. We refe...

Minimal Pseudocompact Group Topologies on Free Abelian Groups

A Hausdorff topological group G is minimal if every continuous isomorphism f : G → H between G and a Hausdorff topological group H is open. Significantly strengthening a 1981 result of Stoyanov we prove the following theorem: For every infinite minimal group G there exists a sequence {σn : n ∈ N} of cardinals such that w(G) = sup{σn : n ∈ N} and sup{2 σn : n ∈ N} ≤ |G| ≤ 2, where w(G) is the we...

Actions of higher-rank lattices on free groups

If G is a semisimple Lie group of real rank at least two and Γ is an irreducible lattice in G, then every homomorphism from Γ to the outer automorphism group of a finitely generated free group has finite image.
