Abstract

A net in an abelian group is called a T-net if there exists a Hausdorff group topology in which the net converges to 0. This paper describes a fundamental system for the finest group topology in which the net converges to 0. The paper uses this description to develop conditions which insure there exists a Hausdorff group topology in which a particular subgroup is dense in a group. Examples given include showing that there are Hausdorff group topologies on n in which any particular axis may be dense and Hausdorff group topologies on the torus in which S1 is dense.
