$\DeclareMathOperator\b{b}\newcommand\B{{\operatorname B}}$I wish to get help understanding the content of two theorems of [Iva] that seem mutually contradictory. First some context. Let $\b(\mathbb{R}...

Let ${\rm b}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ denote the Bohr compactification of $\mathbb{R}^d$, with $d\in\mathbb{N}$. This is the Pontryagin dual of the group $\mathbb{R}^d_d$, corresponding to $\mathbb{R}^d$ with ...

I feel I'm overlooking something very silly. The Bohr compactification of $\mathbb R$ has two equivalent definitions. The set of (possibly discontinuous) homomorphisms $\mathbb R \to \mathbb T$ under ...

Is it possible to explicitly describe the Bohr compactification of $\mathbb Z$? This is equivalent to describing all the group homomorphisms $\mathbb R/\mathbb Z \to \mathbb R/\mathbb Z$ including ...

If $G$ is a Hausdorff topological group and $bG$ is its Bohr compactification, Wikipedia says that $G$ is called maximally almost periodic (MAP) if and only if the natural map $i : G \to bG$ is ...

Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group. Denote its Bohr compactification by $bG$. Despite group structure, $G$ has several (Hausdorff) compactifications that, in a sense, the smallest one is ...
