Nov 22, 2018 at 19:12 comment added YCor By the way it is easy to see that every abelian group of cardinal $\le 2^c$ embeds as a subgroup of $(\mathbf{Q}\times\mathbf{Q}/\mathbf{Z})^c$, which is is a separable Hausdorff topological group. This is, still, not a trivial proof of the result you quote, because a subgroup of a separable group, with the induced topology, is in general not separable.

added top-level tag - this one seems closets to topological groups; https://meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/1457/why-are-mo-tags-formatted-as-they-are

Nov 22, 2018 at 15:37 comment added YCor I guess the condition that the group has cardinal $\le 2^c$ is missing in the sentence "It is not true..." (otherwise this is trivially true) and in the question "It is true..." (otherwise there are trivial counterexamples).
