On Polish groups admitting a compatible complete left-invariant metric

Abstract: We prove that the set of all Polish groups admitting a compatible complete left-invariant metric (called CLI) is coanalytic non-Borel as a subset of a standard Borel space of all Polish groups. As an application of this result, we show that there does not exist a weakly universal CLI group. This, in particular, answers in the negative a question of H.Becker.

We refer to the recent article [10] of Gao and Xuan, where they in particular prove that in case of non-Archimedean Polish groups there is no universal object admitting bi-invariant compatible metric.…”

“…They are usually called CLI (complete left-invariant) groups. Malicki in [18] proved that there is neither a universal CLI group nor a projectively universal CLI group. The last major contribution to this area were in [2] the Ding's construction of a projectively universal Polish group (i.e.…”

“…A Polish group G is weakly universal if every Polish group is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of a topological quotient group of G. For example, ℓ 1 under addition is a weakly universal for abelian Polish groups. On the negative side, most recently, Malicki [9] proved that there is no weakly universal CLI group. So neither universal CLI group, nor surjectively universal CLI group exists.…”
