Then, for a computably locally compact group $G$, we show that the Chabauty space $\\mathcal S(G)$ of closed subgroups of $G$ has a canonical effectively-closed (i.e., $\\Pi^0_1$) presentation as a subspace of the hyperspace $\\mathcal K(G^*)$ of closed sets of $G^*$. We construct a computable discrete abelian group $H$ such that $\\mathcal S(H)$ is not computably closed in $\\mathcal K(H^*)$; in fact, the only computable points of $\\mathcal S(H)$ are the trivial group and $H$ itself, while $\\mathcal S(H)$ is uncountable. In the case that a computably locally compact group $G$ is also totally disconnected, we provide a further algorithmic characterization of $\\mathcal S(G)$ in terms of the countable meet groupoid of $G$ introduced recently by the authors (arXiv: 2204.09878). We apply our results and techniques to show that the index set of the computable locally compact abelian groups that contain a closed subgroup isomorphic to $(\\mathbb{R},+)$ is arithmetical.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-28T09:37:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "computably locally compact group", "closed subgroup", "locally compact polish space", "computable discrete abelian group", "computable locally compact abelian groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
