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 the existence of a Wallace semigroup (i.e., a countably compact both-sided cancellative topological semigroup which is not a topological group).
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
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
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 introduce and study oscillator topologies on paratopological groups and define certain related number invariants. As an application we prove that a Hausdorff paratopological group $G$ admits a weaker Hausdorff group topology provided $G$ is 3-osci
(1) Every infinite, Abelian compact (Hausdorff) group K admits 2^|K|-many dense, non-Haar-measurable subgroups of cardinality |K|. When K is nonmetrizable, these may be chosen to be pseudocompact. (2) Every infinite Abelian group G admits a family A
