Algebraic structure of countably compact non-torsion Abelian groups of size continuum from selective ultrafilters

Assuming the existence of $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters, we classify the non-torsion Abelian groups of cardinality $\mathfrak c$ that admit a countably compact group topology. We show that for each $κ\in [\mathfrak c, 2^\mathfrak c]$ each of these groups has a countably compact group topology of weight $κ$ without non-trivial convergent sequences and another that has convergent sequences. Assuming the existence of $2^\mathfrak c$ selective ultrafilters, there are at least $2^\mathfrak c$ non homeomorphic such topologies in each case and we also show that every Abelian group of cardinality at most $2^\mathfrak c$ is algebraically countably compact. We also show that it is consistent that every Abelian group of cardinality $\mathfrak c$ that admits a countably compact group topology admits a countably compact group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences whose weight has countable cofinality.

Countably compact group topologies on arbitrarily large free Abelian groups

We prove that if there are $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $κ$ such that $κ^ω=κ$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $κ$ without nontrivial convergent sequences and such that every finite power is countably compact. In particular, there are arbitrarily large countably compact groups. This answers a 1992 question of D. Dikranjan and D. Shakhmatov.
