Abstract

Let G be an Abelian group and let CG denote the linear space of all complex-valued functions defined on G equipped with the product topology. We prove that the following are equivalent. (i) Every nonzero translation invariant closed subspace of CG contains an exponential; that is, a nonzero multiplicative function. (ii) The torsion free rank of G is less than the continuum.
