  • Abstract
    We present the first examples of nondiscrete reflexive P-groups (topological groups in which countable intersections of open sets are open) as well as of noncompact reflexive ω-bounded groups (precompact groups in which the closure of every countable set is compact). Our main result implies that every product of discrete Abelian groups equipped with the P-modified topology is reflexive. Taking uncountably many nontrivial factors, we thus answer a question posed by P. Nickolas and solve a problem raised by Ardanza-Trevijano, Chasco, Domínguez, and Tkachenko. amples of non-reflexive P-groups are also given which are based on a further development of Leptinʹs technique going back to 1955.
