 Topological abelian group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a topological abelian group, or TAG, is a topological group that is also an abelian group.
That is, a TAG is both a group and a topological space, the group operations are continuous, and the group's binary operation is commutative.
The theory of topological groups applies also to TAGs, but more can be done with TAGs.

 Algebraic Topology: Homotopy
Let X be a topological space that is the union of two path-connected subspaces A and B, where the intersection of A and B is nonempty and path-connected.
Then the fundamental group of X is generated by (the images of) the fundamental groups of A and B.
Theorem The group operation on X induces a group operation on P(X;x) that coincides with the old group operation, and P(X;x) is commutative.

 TAU Quantum Group - Topological Effects in Quantum Mechanics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Topological and geometrical effects are among the most striking quantum phenomena discovered since the creation of quantum mechanics in 1926.
An analogous topological effect is the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect [7], in which particles that carry a magnetic moment acquire a nontrivial phase while encircling a charged wire.
Topological quantum phases are crucial in explaining superconductivity, the quantum Hall effect, the Josephson junction, flux quantization and many effects in the new field of mesoscopic physics, where tiny electronic circuits exhibit quantum behavior.

The proof is constructive, in that it explicitly constructs the group algebra as the enveloping C*-algebra of the convolution algebra $L^1(G),$ and faithfully embeds the group as unitaries in the multiplier algebra of the group algebra.
it is not true for all topological groups that their continuous representation theory is isomorphic (in the sense of Gelfand--Raikov) to the representation theory of a C*--algebra.
This generalisation of group algebras seem useful even for locally compact groups, because it allows the analysis of representation sets other than $\rsg.$ \item{(3)} For a small class of non-locally compact groups, $\sigma\hbox{--group algebras}$ were constructed for $\cl R.=\rsg$ in [Gr1].

Topological spaces are structures that allow one to formalize concepts such as convergence, connectedness and continuity.
A linear graph is a topological space that generalises many of the geometric aspects of graphs with vertices and edges.
Topological spaces can be broadly classified according to their degree of connectedness, their size, their degree of compactness and the degree of separation of their points and subsets.

 [No title]
To a topological group G, we assign a naive G-spectrum DG, called the dualizing spectrum of G. When the classifying space BG is finitely dominated, we show that DG detects Poincare du- ality in the sense that BG is a Poincare duality space if and only if DG is a homotopy finite spectrum.
The procedure of killing homotopy groups shows that E can be ex- pressed up to homotopy as a filtered homotopy colimit of G-spectra Eff, where ff is an index and Effis a G-spectrum having a finite num- ber of (free) cells_in particular, the norm map is a weak equivalence for Eff.
A group is a duality group (of dimension n) if and only if its dualizing spectrum D is unequivariantly weak equivalent to a Moore spectrum in degree -n on a torsion free abelian group.

A convergence group (G,\Xi), or briefly G, is a group for which the convergence structure \Xi is compatible with addition.
If G is a LCA group, the continuous convergence structure in \Gamma G 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.

 Topological Groups
Topological groups is another rich source of interesting spaces.
Topological groups form a particularly nice family of spaces, as it turns out that the group structure imposes severe restrictions on the topology.

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 observe that for a topological group G the following are equivalent: (i) every continuous action of G on a compact space is weakly almost periodic; (ii) G is precompact.
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.

A topological group is a set which has both the structure of a group and of a topological space in such a way that the operations defining the group structure give continuous maps in the topological structure.

 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.

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.
The focus is on developing computer-aided methods for determining the stability and consistency of computational representations of geometric objects in the context of the topological, piecewise linear, embedding, and differential topological categories, among others.

Topological hydrodynamics is a young branch of mathematics studying topological features of flows with complicated trajectories, as well as their applications to fluid motions.
Topological Methods in Hydrodynamics is the first monograph to treat topological, group-theoretic, and geometric problems of ideal hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics for a unified point of view.
The group we will most often be dealing with in hydrodynamics is the infinite-dimensional group of diffeomorphisms that preserve the volume element of the domain of a fluid flow.

Then $G$, together with this multiplication on the left by elements of $N$, is referred to as a topological $N$-group or topological nearmodule.
In this paper, $N$ will be a topological nearring whose additive group is a Euclidean $N$-group and $G$ will be the additive group $R$ of real numbers.
It is proved that a positive definite function on the semigroup of the positive elements of a separable function space is the Laplace transform of a measure concentrated on the set of positive functionals.

 Group actions
In algebra, geometry and topology we often exploit the fact that important structures arise from families of morphisms that are indexed by a group.
For example, rotations in the plane about the origin are indexed by the unimodular group of complex numbers; we say that this group acts on the plane and the orbit of a point at distance r from the origin is the circle of radius r.
G is a Lie group, so G has a differentiable structure with respect to which its binary operation and the taking of inverses is smooth, and X is a smooth manifold.
