We say that G respects compactness (pseudocompactness, countable compactness, functional boundedness) if G and G+ have the same compact (pseudocompact, countably compact, functionally bounded) sets. The well-known theorem of Glicksberg that LCA groups respect compactness was extended by Trigos-Arrieta to pseudocompactness and functional boundedness. In this paper we generalize these results to arbitrary nuclear groups, a class of Abelian topological groups which contains LCA groups and nuclear locally convex spaces and is closed with respect to subgroups, separated quotients and arbitrary products. %~
