Streszczenie

Under $\mathfrak{p} = \mathfrak{c}$, we prove that it is possible to endow the free abelian group of cardinality $\mathfrak{c}$ with a group topology that makes its square countably compact. This answers a question posed by Madariaga-Garcia and Tomita and by Tkachenko. We also prove that there exists a Wallace semigroup (i.e., a countably compact both-sided cancellative topological semigroup which is not a topological group) whose square is countably compact. This answers a question posed by Grant.
