Less than continuum many translates of a compact nullset may cover any infinite profinite group
Abstract
Description
We show that it is consistent with the axioms of set theory that every infinite profinite group G possesses a closed subset X of Haar measure zero such that less than continuum many translates of X cover G. This answers a question of Elekes and Toth and by their work settles the problem for all infinite compact topological groups.
