A question about automorphism group of abelian group
Does anyone know any references that describe automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb R^n\times \mathbb T^m)$? I searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

(Non)complete abelian groups in the “transfinite p-adic topology”
For an abelian group $A,$ a prime $p$ and an ordinal $\alpha,$ we recursively define $p^\alpha A$ as a subgroup of $A$ such that $p^0A=A,$
$$p^{\alpha+1}A=p(p^\alpha A) \hspace{5mm} \text{and} \...

Fourier transform on lattice strip
I am working with a triangular lattice $L=\{n_1 a_2 + n_2 a_2 : n\in\mathbb{Z}^2 \}$ and $a_1 = \pmatrix{1 \\ 0}$ and $a_2 = \frac{1}{2} \pmatrix{-1 \\ \sqrt{3}}$, and I want to compute the Pontryagin ...

Finite dimensional compact abelian group that is not a product of connected and a totally disconnected
Let $G$ be a compact abelian group. A compact abelian group is said to have dimension $n$ if $\dim_\mathbb{Q} \mathbb{Q}\otimes \hat G = n$. Equivalently one can show that this holds if $G$ is ...

Subgroups and quotients of an abelian pro-finite group
It is well known that every subgroup $H$ of a finite abelian group $G$ is isomorphic to a quotient of $G$.
I'm wondering whether there is a counterpart for profinite groups.
For example is it true ...

Constructing an explicit extension of a continuous character on a closed subgroup of a certain locally compact abelian group
Let $ G $ be a locally compact abelian group and $ \omega: G \times G \to \mathbb{T} $ a continuous multiplier on $ G $, i.e.,
\begin{align}
\forall r,s,t \in G: \qquad
\omega(s,t) ~ \omega(r,s + t) &...

Characteristically simple locally compact abelian groups
Say a topological group $G$ is topologically characteristically simple if there does not exist a closed subgroup $1 < K < G$ such that $K$ is invariant under all automorphisms of $G$ (here `...

Locally compact abelian groups
First, some preliminaries:
Define an "LCA group" to be a locally compact Hausdorff abelian topological group.
Define "smooth manifold" in a way that requires Hausdorffness, but not connectedness or ...
