Easy S and L groups

Roitman, Judith A.

Abstract

We give a simple proof that the existence of strong S or L spaces implies the existence of strong S or L groups; in fact the algebraic structure can be varied quite a bit. We also construct, under CH, S and L groups whose squares are neither S nor L.
