On the Steinhaus and Bergman properties for infinite products of finite groups
Confluentes Mathematici, Volume 4 (2012) no. 2.

We study the relationship between the existence of nonprincipal ultrafilters over ω and the failure of the automatic continuity, Steinhaus and Bergman properties for infinite products of finite groups.
