Question

Imbedding of an n-Dimensional Topological Group

Michael Zarichnyi

Answered in The completion of QN provides an answer to a question of Zarichnyi by Dmitri Shakhmatov

Guran and I proved that there exists a countable-dimensional (separable metrizable) topological group which contains every finite-dimensional topological group whose underlying space is G\delta. The following question arises:

Can every n-dimensional topological group be imbedded as a (not necessarily closed) subgroup of an n-dimensional group whose underlying space is an absolute G\delta? (All groups are assumed to be separable metrizable.)
