Basic results on topological groups #
This file develops general consequences of the topological-group axioms. It includes the homeomorphisms given by left and right multiplication, continuity of conjugation, induced and product topological-group structures, and results about compact sets and connected components.
It also constructs infima of topological-group topologies. Results specifically about inversion, division, neighbourhoods, integer powers, ordered groups, subgroups, and units are provided by the corresponding sibling files.

In this section we prove a few statements about groups with continuous (*).

Topological groups #
A topological group is a group in which the multiplication and inversion operations are
continuous. Topological additive groups are defined in the same way. Equivalently, we can require
that the division operation x y ↦ x * y⁻¹ (resp., subtraction) is continuous.
Conjugation is jointly continuous on G × G when both mul and inv are continuous.
Conjugation is jointly continuous on G × G when both add and neg are continuous.
Conjugation by a fixed element is continuous when mul is continuous.
Conjugation by a fixed element is continuous when add is continuous.
Conjugation acting on fixed element of the group is continuous when both mul and
inv are continuous.
Conjugation acting on fixed element of the additive group is continuous when both
add and neg are continuous.
If multiplication is continuous in α, then it also is in αᵐᵒᵖ.
If addition is continuous in α, then it also is in αᵃᵒᵖ.
The map (x, y) ↦ (x, x * y) as a homeomorphism. This is a shear mapping.

Some results about an open set containing the product of two sets in a topological group.

0 such that K + V ⊆ U.

0 such that V + K ⊆ U.
A compact set is covered by finitely many left multiplicative translates of a set with non-empty interior.

Every weakly locally compact separable topological group is σ-compact. Note: this is not true if we drop the topological group hypothesis.

Given two compact sets in a noncompact topological group, there is a translate of the second one that is disjoint from the first one.
