In 1967 Arhangel’skii posed the problem of the existence in ZFCof a nondiscrete extremally disconnected topological group. The general caseis still open, but we solve Arhangel’skii’s problem for the class of countablegroups. Namely, we prove that the existence of a countable nondiscrete ex-tremally disconnected group implies the existence of a rapid ultrafilter; hence,such a group cannot be constructed in ZFC.
