Spectral representations of topological groups and near-openly generated groups

Abstract

Abstract Near-openly generated groups are introduced. They form a topological and multiplicative subclass of -factorizable groups. Dense and open subgroups, quotients and the Raikov completion of a near-openly generated group are near-openly generated. Almost connected pro-Lie groups, Lindelöf almost metrizable groups and the spaces of all continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space with pointwise convergence topology are near-openly generated. We provide characterizations of near-openly generated groups using methods of inverse spectra and topological game theory. Bibliography: 24 titles.
