It is proved that, on any Abelian group of infinite cardinality ${\bf m}$, there exist precisely $2^{2^{\bf m}}$ nonequivalent bounded Hausdorff group topologies. Under the continuum hypothesis, the number of nonequivalent compact and locally compact Hausdorff group topologies on the group $(\Z_p)^{\N}$ is determined.
The paper is devoted to study of Massey products in symplectic manifolds. Theory of generalized and classical Massey products and a general construction of symplectic manifolds with nontrivial Massey products of arbitrary large order are exposed. The construction uses the symplectic blow-up and is based on the author results, which describe conditions under which the blow-up of a symplectic manifold X along its submanifold Y inherits nontrivial Massey products from X ot Y. This gives a general construction of nonformal symplectic manifolds.
