%0 Journal Article %T Metrically universal abelian groups %A Michal Doucha %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We give a positive answer to the question of Shkarin (\cite{Sk}) whether there exists a metrically universal abelian separable group equipped with invariant metric. Our construction also gives an example of a group structure on the Urysohn universal space that is substantially different from the previously known examples. Under some cardinal arithmetic assumptions, our results generalize to higher cardinalities. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.7683v2
