Abstract

Given a discrete group G, we consider the set L(G) of all subgroups of G endowed with topology of pointwise convergence arising from the standard embedding of L(G) into the Cantor cube (0, 1)G. We show that the cellularity c(L(G)) ≤ ℵ0 for every abelian group G, and, for every infinite cardinal τ we construct a group G with c(L(G)) =τ.
