Abstract

We construct several topological groups with very strong combinatorial properties. In particular, we give simple examples of subgroups of ℝ (thus strictly o-bounded) which have the Menger and Hurewicz properties but are not σ-compact, and show that the product of two o-bounded subgroups of ℝN may fail to be o-bounded, even when they satisfy the stronger property S1(BΩ, BΩ)- This solves a problem of Tkacenko and Hernandez, and extends independent solutions of Krawczyk and Michalewski and of Banakh, Nickolas, and Sanchis. We also construct separable metrizable groups G of size continuum such that every countable Borel ω-cover of G contains a γ-cover of G.
