Assuming the existence of $mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters, we classify the non-torsion Abelian groups of cardinality $mathfrak c$ that admit a countably compact group topology. We show that for each $kappa in [mathfrak c, 2^mathfrak c]$ each of these groups has a countably compact group topology of weight $kappa$ without non-trivial convergent sequences and another that has convergent sequences. Assuming the existence of $2^mathfrak c$ selective ultrafilters, there are at least $2^mathfrak c$ non homeomorphic such topologies in each case and we also show that every Abelian group of cardinality at most $2^mathfrak c$ is algebraically countably compact. We also show that it is consistent that every Abelian group of cardinality $mathfrak c$ that admits a countably compact group topology admits a countably compact group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences whose weight has countable cofinality.
We prove that the existence of a selective ultrafilter implies the existence of a countably compact Hausdorff group topology on the free Abelian group of size continuum. As a consequence, we show that the existence of a selective ultrafilter implies
We prove that if there are $mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $kappa$ such that $kappa^omega=kappa$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $kappa$ without nontrivial con
We study algebraic and topological properties of topological semigroups containing a copy of the bicyclic semigroup C(p,q). We prove that each topological semigroup S with pseudocompact square contains no dense copy of C(p,q). On the other hand, we c
We obtain a set of generalized eigenvectors that provides a generalized spectral decomposition for a given unitary representation of a commutative, locally compact topological group. These generalized eigenvectors are functionals belonging to the dua
In his seminal work cite{pal:61}, R. Palais extended a substantial part of the theory of compact transformation groups to the case of proper actions of locally compact groups. Here we extend to proper actions some other important results well known f
