Consistent solution of Markov's problem about algebraic sets
Abstract
Description
It is proved that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of a group M containing a nonalgebraic unconditionally closed set, i.e., a set which is closed in any Hausdorff group topology on M but is not an intersection of finite unions of solution sets of equations in M.
