Summary:
Given a discrete group $G$, we consider the set $\Cal L(G)$ of all subgroups of $G$ endowed with topology of pointwise convergence arising from the standard embedding of $\Cal L(G)$ into the Cantor cube $\{0,1\}^{G}$. We show that the cellularity $c(\Cal L(G))\leq \aleph_0$ for every abelian group $G$, and, for every infinite cardinal $\tau$, we construct a group $G$ with $c(\Cal L(G))=\tau$.
