Abstract

A topological Abelian group G is called (strongly) self-dual if there exists a topological isomorphism Φ:G→G∧ of G onto the dual group G∧ (such that Φ(x)(y)=Φ(y)(x) for all x,y∈G). We prove that every countably compact self-dual Abelian group is finite. It turns out, however, that for every infinite cardinal κ with κω=κ, there exists a pseudocompact, non-compact, strongly self-dual Boolean group of cardinality κ.
