On proper compactifications of topological groups

In the present paper, we examine in detail the method of "graph compactifications" of topological groups. The graph and Ellis methods of constructing proper compactifications of topological groups are applied for the investigation of possible extensions of algebraic operations on a topological group to its compactifications, and give descriptions of Roelcke, Ellis, WAP, and graph compactifications of topological groups. Additionally, using dichotomy theorems of A.V.Arhangelskii, we show that the description of compactifications can be effectively used in the investigation of topological properties of their remainders. As examples, subgroups of the permutation group (in the permutation topology) and the automorphism group of a LOTS (in the topology of pointwise convergence) are examined.

On two methods of constructing compactifications of topological groups

The classification of (proper) compactifications of topological groups with respect to the possibility of extensions of algebraic operations is presented. Ellis' method of construction compactifications of topological groups allows one to obtain all right topological semigroup compactifications on which the multiplication on the left continuously extends. Presentation of group elements as graphs of maps in the hyperspace with Vietoris topology allows one to obtain compactifications on which the involution and the multiplication on the left extend.

The free abelian topological group and the free locally convex space on the unit interval

We give a complete description of the topological spaces $X$ such that the free abelian topological group $A(X)$ embeds into the free abelian topological group $A(I)$ of the closed unit interval. In particular, the free abelian topological group $A(X)$ of any finite-dimensional compact metrizable space $X$ embeds into $A(I)$. The situation turns out to be somewhat different for free locally convex spaces. Some results for the spaces of continuous functions with the pointwise topology are also obtained. Proofs are based on the classical Kolmogorov's Superposition Theorem.
