Subgroups of paratopological groups and feebly compact groups

[EN] It is shown that if all countable subgroups of a semitopological group G are precompact, then G is also precompact and that the closure of an arbitrary subgroup of G is again a subgroup. We present a general method of refining the topology of a given commutative paratopological group G such that the group G with the finer topology, say, σ is again a paratopological group containing a subgroup whose closure in (G, σ) is not a subgroup. It is also proved that a feebly compact paratopological group H is perfectly k-normal and that every Gδ-dense subspace of H is feebly compact.
