  2. Preservation of topological properties for topological groups under taking square A topological group is a topological space which is also a group such that its group operations are continuous. Yinhe Peng (CAS) April 1, 2015 2 / 22

  13. Lindelöf and L groups A regular space is Lindelöf if every open cover has a countable subcover. A hereditarily Lindelöf space is a space that every subspace is Lindelöf. Yinhe Peng (CAS) April 1, 2015 4 / 22

  16. Earlier results For topological spaces, there is no much difference between taking square or taking product, since ( X ∪ Y ) 2 contains X × Y as a clopen subspace. One major difficulty for topological group is that we can’t do this. Yinhe Peng (CAS) April 1, 2015 5 / 22

  28. A little strengthening - L group It’s great that we have an L space in ZFC. But can we have a group version? Yinhe Peng (CAS) April 1, 2015 8 / 22

  30. A little strengthening - L group It’s great that we have an L space in ZFC. But can we have a group version? Question Is there an L group - a topological group whose underlying set is an L space? The first L group appeared quite early. Theorem (Hajnal, Juhasz, 1973) It is consistent to have an L group.
