Abstract
Let G be an Abelian topological group and G(+) the group G endowed with the weak topology induced by continuous characters. We say that G respects com pactness (pseudocompactness, countable compactness, functional boundedness) if G and G+ have the same compact (pseudocompact, countably compact, funct ionally bounded) sets. The well-known theorem of Glicksberg that LCA groups respect compactness was extended by Trigos-Arrieta to pseudocompactness an d functional boundedness. In this paper we generalize these results to arbi trary nuclear groups, a class of Abelian topological groups which contains LCA groups and nuclear locally convex spaces and is closed with respect to subgroups, separated quotients and arbitrary products.
