 Group theory
Group theory is that branch of mathematics concerned with the study of groups.
Groups are used throughout mathematics and the sciences, often to capture the internal symmetry of other structures, in the form of automorphism groups.
In algebraic topology, groups are used to describe invariants of topological spaces (the name of the torsion subgroup of an infinite group shows the legacy of this field of endeavor).

 Abelian group
In abstract algebra, an abelian group is a group (G, *) that is commutative, i.e., in which a * b = b * a holds for all elements a and b in G.
If a group is abelian, we usually write the operation as + instead of *, the identity element as 0 (often called the zero element in this context) and the inverse of the element a as -a.
The abelian groups, together with group homomorphisms, form a category, the prototype of an abelian category.

 Abelian group Summary
Such groups are generally easier to understand, although large infinite abelian groups remain a subject of current research.
The matrices, in contrast, do not form an abelian group under multiplication, for even when restricted to sets of invertible matrices, matrix multplication is generally non-communtative.
This is a special application of the fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups in the case when G has torsion-free rank equal to 0.

 math space: group
Group theory originated with the work of Évariste Galois in 1830, which concerned the problem of when an algebraic equation is soluble by radicals.
Group theory allows for the properties of such structures to be investigated in a general setting.
Groups are thus essential abstractions in branches of physics involving symmetry principles, such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and particle physics.

We study the topological semigroups that admit the adjunction of a non-isolated absorbing element and the structure and permanence properties of the class AA of topological semigroups admitting this type of adjunctions.
We discuss lattice theoretic properties of group topologies (maximal and minimal topologies, complementation etc.) as well as their relation to topologies generated by compact representations (homomorphisms in the circle group in the abelian case).
The theory of Lie groups in finite dimensions relies on the strong connection between the two structures of the group: the finite dimenional manifold structure and the topological group structure.

Topological groups for which the duality theorem is valid are called reflexive.
Locally compact groups are not the only reflexive groups, since any reflexive Banach space, regarded as a topological group, is reflexive [8].
There is an analogue of Pontryagin duality for non-commutative groups (the duality theorem of Tannaka–Krein) (see, [6], [7]).

 HogBlog: Fundamental Groups of Topological Groups are Abelian
Topologically these are great because they're compact smooth (even real-analytic) manifolds, and things like their fundamental groups are easy to extract from (for SO and SU) the fibrations we get by considering their actions on spheres.
One compact topological group that isn't a Lie group is the p-adic integers, for any prime p: they actually form a compact topological ring.
Another example of compact topological groups would be compact linear algebraic groups: consider the orthogonal group of nxn matrices over an arbitrary field k, even of prime characteristic, and give it the Zariski topology, making it an affine variety.

 Atlas: Duality for Convergence Abelian Groups by M. Montserrat Bruguera
Examples of reflexive groups which are not locally compact are known from the late forties.
If G is a LCA group, the continuous convergence structure in \GammaG is precisely the convergence given by the compact open topology [3], thus, the ''convergence dual'' and the ordinary dual are identical.
Topological abelian groups are, in an obvious way, convergence groups, therefore it is natural to compare reflexivity and BB-reflexivity for them.

 ITFA - Topological interactions in gauge theories   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Much of the relevant physics described by gauge theories is non-perturbative in nature; for example the spectrum, the study of confinement and the study of topological defects and their physical properties.
These feature topological (magnetic flux) sectors which are characterized by certain non-abelian quantum numbers (conjugacy classes to be specific), whereas the allowed dyonic sectors carry electric charges falling into representations of the stabilizer group of the conjugacy class.
One of the exotic properties of the theory is the emergence of the topological concept of "cheshire charge", a nonlocalizable manifestation of electric and/or magnetic charge.

 [math/0701428] Duality for topological abelian group stacks and T-duality
Title: Duality for topological abelian group stacks and T-duality
In order to show that a connected abelian group is admissible on the site of locally compact spaces we must in addition assume that it is locally topologically divisible.
This condition is used in the proof of Lemma 4.62.

Now we note that if X is either an abelian topological monoid or an infinite loopspace, then 1 X+ is in the category Alg.
But, since N is the free abelian (topological) monoid on one generator, we can identify Map Ab (N, A) with A. Thus we are asking that SP 1 (K, N) satisfy Map Ab(SP 1 (K, N), A) = Map T(K, A).
Note that the abelian topological monoid satisfying only the relations of type (i) and (ii) is SP1 (K ^ A).

The most important theorem in the theory of LCA groups is Pontryagin's Duality which states that any LCA group is isomorphic in the category of Hausdorff topological groups with its bidual when the dual groups are the groups of continuous group morphisms into the unitary circle with the compact-open topology.
Relating an LCA group with its Bohr topology is a very important theorem known as Glicksberg's Theorem that states that the LCA topology and the Bohr topology associated to it determine the same compact subsets of the considered group.
It is known that epimorphisms in the category of Hausdorff topological groups need not have dense image and the cowellpowerdness problem asks wether the class of extensions of a topological group for which the embeding is epimorphism is a set or a proper class.

ABSTRACT: A group with topology (X,*,T) is called a `semitopological group' if multiplication is separately continuous, a `paratopological group' if multiplication is jointly continuous and, of course, a `topological group' if inversion is continuous as well.
In two classic papers of 1957, Robert Ellis proved, for locally compact Hausdorff spaces, that every paratopological group is a topological group and then, a few months later, that every semitopological group is a topological group.
A primary problem in the area is that of developing algorithmic tests for topological or topological embedding equivalence.

Constructive groups were introduced by Sternfeld in (5) as metrizable groups G whose group of G-valued functions satisfies a (suitably defined) sort of Stone-Weirestrass theorem.
In the case of connected locally compact groups the homotopy theory of compact groups (essentially applied to simple compact Lie groups and compact connected Abelian groups) and the structure theory of locally compact groups turn to be appropriate tools.

2.Continuous group cohomology is the same as Borel group cohomology if the group is locally compact and the coefficients are vector spaces.
3.The algebraic group cohomology you mentioned is the group cohomology of the group made discrete (forgetting the topology) as I understand and thus is the cohomology of the classifying space of the group made discrete.
4.Topological group extension of locally compact groups is Borel split, thus short exact sequence of coefficients which are locally compact leads to a Bockstein type long exact sequence of cohomology.

One of the biggest obstacles to quantum information processing is the rapid decay of quantum coherence in most physical systems due to noise and other uncontrolled interactions with the environment.
We are especially interested in the interplay between topological constraints imposed by an external potential, interparticle interactions (often in the strongly interacting limit) and coherence.
Recent work includes a detailed analysis of the effects of strong interactions on number statistics in a double well condensate and a study of the properties of weakly linked superfluids in both simple and complex (superposition states) of flow in a ring geometry.

 FELIX KLEIN'S GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION BY GROUPS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
There is an abstract group g acting on S which has a representation as a group of linear substitutions on the coordintes.
Thus, generally, a geometry is defined by a space (set) S, a set R of relations, and the group g of transformations of S that leave R invariant, since the set R is implied by the action of g on S, Thus, most generally the coordinates can be conceptually eliminated.
Example: S is a Euclidean space and g is IO(n) which is the semidirect product of the full group of rotations O(n) and an abelian group, (a group of translations) isomorphic to R^n.

 Citebase - Abelian topological groups with host algebras
The concept of a host algebra generalises that of a group C*-algebra to groups which are not locally compact in the sense that its non-degenerate representations are in one-to-one correspondence with representations of the group under consideration.
Our main negative result is essentially that a topological abelian group has a full host algebra (covering all its continuous unitary representations) if and only if it embeds densely into a locally compact group.
On the positive side, we show that the canonical symplectic form on a countably dimensional complex vector space leads to an abelian group with multiplier for which a full host algebra exists.
