Does every compact abelian group contain a Kronecker set generating a dense subgroup?
Let $G$ be a compact metrizable abelian group with infinite exponent.
Let $S^1 = \left\{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| = 1 \right\}$. A set $K \subset G$ is a Kronecker set if, for every continuous function $...

Characterization of Vilenkin group
It is shown in [1, Section 1] by C.W. Onneweer that every infinite compact, metrizable, zero-dimensional commutative group is a Vilenkin group. My question is does this implication also hold if we ...

About the nilpotency of a subgroup
Let $G$ be a compact group. Let $\mathcal N$ be a family of closed normal subgroups of nilpotency class at most $k$. Assume that $\mathcal N$ is closed under finite intersections and $\bigcap_{N\in\...

A generalization of the character group
Let $G$ be a group.
We define $$\tilde{G}=\{\phi:G \to \mathbb{T}\mid \phi(gh){\phi(g)}^{-1}{\phi(h)}^{-1}\in Tor(\mathbb{T})\}$$
where $Tor(\mathbb{T})$ is the group of torsion elements of the unit ...

Generalized conjugacy classes in (topological) groups
Let $G$ be a topological group. We define an equivalence relation on $G$ as follows:
For $a,b\in G$ we set $a\sim b$ if the following two maps are topologically conjugate:
$$x\mapsto ax,\qquad x\...

Idempotent conjecture and non-abelian solenoid
Is there a discrete non-abelian group whose dual in a reasonable sense is isomorphic to the solenoid constructed via a sequence of quaternions $S^3$ instead of a sequence of circles? The motivation ...

How a profinite group can be obtained from its normal open subgroups?
Let $\Delta$ be a set, each element of which is a profinite group (2 distinct elements of $\Delta$ may be isomorphic). Under what conditions on $\Delta$, there exists a profinite group $G$ which has $\...

Idempotent conjecture and (weak) connectivity of (a reasonable) dual group
What is an example of a torsion free discrete abelian group $G$ whose dual space $\hat{G}$ is not a path connected space?
The Motivation: The motivation comes from the idempotent conjecture of ...

How large this subset is to say that it should equal the group?
Let $\alpha$ be a continuous automorphism on a compact group $G$ with normalized Haar measure $m$. We may say $\alpha$ is $n$-splitting, if the set
$$\text{Spl}_n(\alpha):=\left\{g\in G: \prod_{k=1}^...
