Mar 22, 2014 at 12:13 comment added Minimus Heximus You're answer is completely wrong, but if you add local compactness to $\mathcal R$, It may be completely correct according to a theorem due to Ellis. Good point for me, why I +1.

Adds warning that the answer is incorrect.
Mar 22, 2014 at 9:00 comment added jmc Hmm, you are very right! I don't know what made me think this is enough. Excuse my stupidity.
Mar 22, 2014 at 8:50 comment added Minimus Heximus Let me be seriously displeosed too! There are examples which show the intersection of two compatible topologies is not necessarily compatible. you have proved inverse, and left (right) multiplication are continuous. While continuity of the 2-variable multiplication function needs a serious proof.
Mar 22, 2014 at 8:43 comment added Kevin Ventullo For showing compatibility, why is it enough to show that $gU$ is open for all $g$ and $U^{-1}$ is open? For instance, if I take an abstract infinite group and put the cofinite topology on it, then both of those conditions are satsified, but the cofinite topology is not compatible.
